Tasting Notes
We have been making Merlot from this block from day one. A mixture of picking just at the point of ripeness and the use of neutral oak results in a beautiful energetic and supple wine that glides across the pallet with the perfect pitch of acidity and earthiness. Merlot from the Adelaide Hills should never be ignored. Vineyard: Broderick. Farming: Organic. Aspect: NW. Planted: 2001. Clone: D3V14. Elevation: 500m. Pruning: Spur. Soil: Sandy clay over schist and sandstone. Vinification: Destemmed, neutral French barriques for 9 months. - Winery Note
A love of wine, food and growing things eventually led us away from a vastly different background involving scuba gear and seaweed. Our winery is situated in the Basket Range of the Adelaide Hills where we try to intervene as little as possible in the growing and making of our wines. We farm a number of small parcels in Basket Range, Forest Range and Ashton. We don't like to define our styles or wine making techniques, we just make wine in the way we feel is right for the grapes and season and most importantly, with maximum drinkability and enjoyment in mind. We hope you enjoy. - Winery Note
