Grown in Langhorne Creek this variety thrives, with the cooling influence of lake Alexandrina and the hot climate it is not unlike Corsica where it is the predominant white variety. I pressed directly to older French barriques as I wanted to lees stir and I find this ratio of wine to solids perfect for building palate weight. A wild yeast fermentation at uncontrolled temperatures, the wine finished fermentation with such character and charm. I stirred the barrels regularly for 2 months post ferment to really add some dimension to the palate. Racked to concrete eggs where it amalgamated for 6 weeks, prior to bottling. Jasmine, almond and citrus with the most generous, mouth filling palate pulling into a gentle, pith like finish
