Conquest Barossa Valley Chardonnay 2022

The grapes were delivered to the winery and de-stemmed before being soft pressed. The pressing were kept separate and after cold settling and clarification the juice undertook a cool fermentation. An aromatic yeast isolate was selected to enhance the aromatics and older French oak provides wonderful depth and creamy/nutty characters.  Make to drink upon release while the fruit flavour is at its most fresh and vibrant although will develop more complexity over the short term.

Shanahans Evergreen Eden Valley Riesling 2020

The Riesling is sourced from a single vineyard in the cool climate, high altitude region of Eden Valley in the Barossa ranges. The grapes were individually picked out in the vineyards for their exceptional quality and picked separately to the rest of the vineyard. To ensure the grapes were harvested at optimum flavour and acid balance, the ripening of the grapes was monitored with regular berry tasting in the lead up to picking, then harvested in the cool of the night. After crushing and must chilling, the free run juice was drained and clarified with minimum skin contact. This juice was then cool fermented between 13 – 15C with selected yeast to enhance the delicate Riesling flavours. The wine was bottled with a screw cap closure to retain the pristine aromas and flavours.

Ready to be enjoyed now and will have a great lifespan which will enable it to be drunk over the next 10 years for those that enjoy aged style Riesling.

McPherson La Vue Victorian Moscato 2019

The grapes for this Moscato were specially selected from our premium Victorian vineyards. The fruit was crushed, pressed and cold settled in our winery, before the juice was fined, resulting in a wine that is smooth and luxurious. Fermentation took ten days and was conducted at very cool temperatures that ranged between 8-10°C. To ensure perfect balance the ferment was measured daily to monitor sugar and alcohol levels. The final wine was then fined, cold stabilised and filtered within a week to ensure the retention of the spritz and to keep the wine fresh and fruity.

It’s a wrap for another season and once again Mother Nature has dished us out a few challenges! Due to an extremely hot January vintage began a week or two later than normal, and once we got picking whites and reds rolled in at a cracking pace. White yields were lower than anticipated whilst reds were on par with previous years. Overall it was another great vintage with bright and fresh whites and beautifully coloured, rich reds.

The grapes for this wine were sourced from a single block in the Lower Wairau Valley of Marlborough, from a single estate owned by the Holdaway Family.

Viking Grand Barossa Valley Chardonnay 2022

The wine was crushed and de-stemmed prior to the pressing process; French oak barriques were used for fermentation. The ferment was slow and cool with several weeks of lees contact post ferment. After the wine was clarified and filtered it was bottled to retain as much fruit flavour as possible. Only 300 dozen were produced highlighting the incredible attention to detail and care taken with our small batch winemaking. Made to drink upon release while the fruit flavour is at its most fresh and vibrant, although will develop more complexity over the next couple of years for those who enjoy their Chardonnay with a touch of age. 

Ronco di Sassi Vino Bianco dItalia 2019

The well ripen grapes are harvested just at the right time in August. The fermentation takes place in a controlled temperature tank at low temperature, in order to maintain the perfumes as fresh as possible. A part of the must is fermented in barrique to provide aromatic complexity and longevity to the finished wine. 

Olssen Of Watervale Clare Valley Riesling 2017

The 2017 vintage in the Watervale sub region of the Clare Valley was perfect for the production of high quality Riesling. With ideal fruit-set we had a hot December which reduced yield expectations, before rain in late January and early February which slowed down the flow of vintage. Riesling for us was the stand out variety of the vintage and we produced highly aromatic and flavoursome wines. The perfect conditions allowed for optimal flavour ripening whilst it was quite dry this enabled the development of the natural fruit acidity. After picking and crushing we used only the free run juice for our Riesling. Fermentation was over a couple of weeks – after cold stabilizing/filtering, the wine was bottled to retain all those beautiful fruit flavours and natural grape acidity.
