Single Vineyard, Strathbogie Ranges Vineyard: Billi’s Block G Clones: SA125 and G9V3

Winemaking

The fruit, from our Billi’s Vineyard, Block G, was harvested using a selective processor on 7th April 2022. After gentle crushing, the juice was fermented with wild yeast in sweeping arm, stainless steel fermenters and kept on skins for 12 days to achieve an ideal fruit concentration and texture. The wine was matured in older French oak 500L puncheons for 12 months with two rounds of racking to add palate weight.
