Vintage Notes
Barossa’s 2023 vintage was 3-4 weeks later than the normal, with the Spring rainfall one of the wettest on record. Overall, the growing season saw average soil moisture and strong budburst. There were no summer heatwaves and veraison did not occur in many varieties until February.
Shiraz usually harvested in mid-Feb, was picked early- to mid-March.
Reds have intense, rich, and balanced flavours and colours; whites have lovely aromatics, finesse, and great natural acidity.
Winemaking
Fruit from the three vineyards was picked in March 2023. Each parcel was vinified individually to highlight the amazing structure and characters of each individual vineyard.
All the grapes were destemmed and crushed into open fermenters, where they were fermented at temperatures not exceeding 28C for 14 days. The cap was managed with twice daily pump overs and once dry the wines were bag pressed to tank to complete MLF before being racked to oak.
After twelve weeks of élevage on lees, the components from the three vineyards were racked, blended, and returned to a selection of 3,000L French oak Foudres and 6.6KL French vats. A further 12-month maturation allowed the wine to come together and soften before being racked, filtered, and bottled.
