Vineyard - The Chalmers Heathcote Vineyard is an east facing sloped site comprised of the famous red Cambrian soils of the area. The lower vineyard from whence came this fruit, is deep red clay-loam. Chalmers aim to follow organic farming principles where possible and are transparent in their communication when it is not. The Sagrantino was sourced from Chalmers Merbein.

Winemaking - About a quarter of the fruit was layered as whole bunches on the bottom of the ferementers and the rest was gently destemmed over the top. Wild yeast fermented. Pressed to old, neutral French oak for 9 months maturation. Unfiltered, unfined. No adds apart from sulphur. Vegan friendly.
