These well-established vineyards, up to 30 years of age, are planted in some of Australia’s most fertile soils. At just under two hours from the famed Barossa, the area is rich in nutrients, has a mostly dry climate and receives most of rainfall through Autumn, which is perfect timing. The vineyards have good vigour, so vines are regulated with drip irrigation and planted widely to allow for growth also allowing the air flow to reduce disease pressure and help sustain organic practices.

Vintage 2019 will be remembered for the one that failed to produce much fruit. There was a deficit in rain during the Summer which made it difficult for growers to make up the shortfall instead having to rely on irrigation. Although yields were down vines produced fruit with more intensity.

The fruit for this wine was harvested during the night to ensure the freshness of the fruit is maintained. A short fermentation period solely in stainless steel ensures clean, crisp flavours and minimal oxygen contact. The wine spends 6 months on extended yeast lees contact with a portion of the blend also spending time in older oak for softness.

Sourced exclusively from fourth generation vignerons, the Grigoriou family who are based in the heart of the dry grown vineyards of the Monash Valley. Here the vines are stronger, healthier and simply put, produce exceptional fruit year in and year out.

Food Pairing:Such a flavoursome wine that feels so light and fresh in the mouth makes this perfect for Roast chicken.
