This is a wine we’re really proud of, made from our two favourite barrels of the season. The 115 barrel was chosen for its pretty, floral and lifted red fruit while the MV6 barrel offered intensity and a compelling gravelly, reductive mineral edge. 

The wine is made using a semi-carbonic method, with the fruit hand-destemmed into open-top fermenters and covered to allow some carbonic action for a few days. We then use some gentle hand pigeage, but only towards the very end of fermentation. The wine was basket pressed to seasoned barrels, where it rested for 10 months before being gravity-racked and bottled.

Each vintage, this wine represents our pursuit of the purest and most transparent expression of our vineyard. It is intentionally composed and restrained in its youth, gradually revealing greater detail, texture and complexity as it opens in the glass.

Organically farmed, made and bottled by us at our home in West Gippsland.
