For the first time, we have hand-bottled the 2019 and it is now available as an Advance Release.

Viticulture
Right across South Australia, the 2019 vintage will be remembered as a very challenging one. Very dry conditions persisted throughout the growing season while some areas also had to contend with frost, hail and wind – all of which reduced the crop but helped increase concentration and quality. 
Winemaking
The 2 vineyard blocks use 3 different clones of Grenache which are hand-picked and wild fermented together in concrete. Very gentle extraction focuses on aromatics rather than tannins. Once pressed, the wine was transferred to older, 500l puncheons. No fining or filtration.
