AWARDS

in the vineyard : The grapes were sourced from low yield, trellised vineyards growing in the Darling area. These vineyards are grown on south to south westerly slopes on deep rich soils and are managed under dryland conditions, thus no irrigation was applied. The yield of these vines varies from 2-5 tons/ha on the older vines up to 7 tons/ha on the younger vines.

about the harvest: The grapes were harvested from early to late February at between 19° - 23.5° Balling.

in the cellar : The different vineyards were vinifined separately as far as possible and were fermented and treated accordingly. Fermentation took place in stainless steal tanks at temperatures ranging between 12° – 14° C depending on the strain of yeast that was used.
