Description

Sourced from the Top Bush block on the Wait vineyard in the Blewitt Springs sub-region of McLaren Vale. Planted in the mid 1940‚ this block is dry grown and provides small berries with intense flavour and prominent tannin.

The fruit was hand-picked on the 15th of March and processed as a 100% whole bunch ferment. After a slow and cool ferment, the fruit was pressed to large format neutral French oak where it remained on full lees until racking for bottling in January 2022.

About the region

South Australia · McLaren Vale

South Australia grows more wine than any other Australian state, and its subregions behave almost like separate countries. Barossa and Eden Valley give Shiraz and Riesling, McLaren Vale leans to Grenache, Clare Valley to dry Riesling, Adelaide Hills to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, and Coonawarra to Cabernet on red terra rossa soil. Strict quarantine has kept phylloxera out, so some vineyards still work vines planted in the nineteenth century.
