| Vintage | Good winter & spring rainfalls, allowed healthy canopies to cope with the summer ahead. January and February were warm & dry leading into mid March harvest making The old vine Trebbiano showcased small loose bunches of yellow nectar to produce another lovely textural table wine of character. |
| Wine Making | Hand picked, crushed into small 500kg fermenters for 14 days skin then basket pressed to seasoned French oak for for 16 months to build texture, weight and complexity. A lovely delicate and yet very complex dry styling with lifted stone fruits, citrus florals and grapefruit. Flavours of zesty lemon, nuts, grapefruit and stone fruits that persists to a savoury delightful finish most suited to shell fish and white meats. |
