Made from Italian varieties Vermentino & Verdicchio sourced from a secret vineyard in the Western Barossa Valley. The perfect fruit was harvested at night to retain freshness and acidity. Crushed to open ferments in a style more akin to red wine so that the wine takes on extra character from skin contact. A portion of the wine spent a few months in barrique to add to palate structure. Resultant wine is fruit driven with a lovely textural overlay and a pleasing dry finish.

• Winemaking

  Harvested at night to retain freshness and acidity, the fruit was delivered to the winery in pristine condition. Crushed to open ferments in a style more akin to red wine, the fruit was allowed to begin fermentation immediately in contact with the skins. To achieve the secondary and tertiary notes we were seeking in this wine, there was a daily pump over of the juice to cover the skins for 6 days prior to basket pressing. Fermentation was completed between inert tank and French oak barriques to dryness, again adding to the palate structure.
