A light red blend of Pinot Noir, Syrah and Merlot. This plot of vines is grown in Rylstone, NSW.
These few rows were a culmination of a failed grafting attempt. This resulted in a precarious little field blend of Pinot, Merlot and Syrah.
We stayed the night and temperatures got close to zero degrees resulting in some cold, stiff bunches. The fruit was then hand destemmed and unintentionally cold soaked for 4 days without any fermentation kicking off. The grapes were pressed off to stainless steel tank for 2 weeks where the primary ferment was a great success.
The vino was moved to neutral American oak for 10 months and bottled straight out of barrel, zero sulphur added.
A delicate, light red blend with a sincere acid line.
