It's a deliciously textural wine that offers depth and weight on the palate thanks to the skins portion ferment. The black sandy soils situated in these cooler parts of South Gippsland provide the wine with layers of complexity and flavour. Bright lemon/straw colour, sea spray/oyster shell, pear & quince. A textural wine, that builds in the glass, grilled hazelnut, with fineboned acidity weaving throughout. Layered &complex.
From Glen Forbes, South Gippsland on black sandy soils with subsurface over cemented sands. 50% Whole bunch pressed to tank for settling, then racked to a neutral puncheon for fermentation with 50% de-stemmed & fermented on skins for 7 days, then pressed into a new Stockinger Puncheon to finish fermentation with some Lees stirring and no malo.
