Located in close promixity to the gulf of Stf Vincent in the White Valley area of McLaren Vale between Willunga and Aldinga. Back Nad grey Biscay clays predominate, sitting over alluvial Ngaltinga formation. Sea breezes mediate daytime heat while the cracking clays reduce vigour during the critical ripening period. These factors help to produce a wine of depth and concentration.
Fermented over 12 days in 8 tonne potter fermenters and larger vinomatics with twice daily pump overs carried out in both circumstances. Temperatures were kept cool, between 20 and 24°C to retain fruit vibrancy and ensure of soft tannin structure. The ferment was pressed off at approx. 1 Baume to finish in stainless steel tank before being transferred to seasoned 70% French and 30% American Hogs Head Barrels for 10 months. Malolactic fermentation was completed by indigenous strains following which the wine was racked, sulphured and returned to oak to complete its maturation. No finings and only light filtration were used prior to bottling.
