Winemaker’s Notes

Black Rabbit Vineyard

Blend 2/3 Clone 5 and 1/3 Clone 115. 10% whole bunch. Fermented with indigenous yeast. 21 days on skins; around 6 days cold soak, 8 days in ferment then 7 days post ferment. Ferment temperatures peaked at 30C, the wine was punched down at most once daily, with none from late fermentation right through post ferment maturation. Maturation in aged barrels provides for the wine’s development. Natural malolactic fermentation in the spring, no fining prior to bottling in October 2021.

Nose  — Black Cherry. Violet. Garrigue.

Palate — Complex. Layered. Chiselled.

ABV – 14% Alc
