Vineyard - Chalmers Merbein site in the Murray Darling region. Chalmers have spent years refining their approach to viticulture which includes heavy use of organic carbon to improve soil and increase water holding capacity. All nutrient and the majority of fungicide applications utilized are organic. Residual herbicides are not part of the Chalmers regime as soil microbial health is paramount. Mulch and weed control trials are currently underway to permanently remove the need for chemical knock-down herbicide use.
Winemaking - Bunches were destemmed then sealed up for 42 days. Fermentation by wild yeast. Two thirds of the fruit was fermented in a borrowed egg (an egg shaped fermenter, which allows for even distribution of temperature among other things). Basket pressed to old, neutral French oak for 9 months maturation. Unfiltered, unfined. No adds apart from sulphur.
Vegan friendly.
