Fruit from a single vineyard in the north west (White Rock). Fermented with 20% whole bunches and the balance whole berries in our trusty milk vat for 21 days. The ferment reached temperatures above 30 degrees due to the insulation of the milk vat normally used to make Mewstone each year. It was pressed to and matured in oak for ten months (50% new). Bottled unfined and unfiltered. Displaying fine red berries and floral hints. Wonderful fine but firm tannins are supported by natural acidity only found in cool climates.
From the north west of Tasmania. From a vineyard that contains dornfelder, too. Hello. A tiny parcel that was fermented in, yes, a milk vat. Aromatic, green herb, peppery spice, dark cherry notes. Has some heft in perfume. Transparent, dark fruited but light and clean, succulent tannins, exceptional length and very fine in feel. Textural, sleek and very well put together with a strong savoury edge. Super expression here, and one for now and later.
