Analytical Data
Wine Production
Same in the vineyard, this wine was hand crafted using traditional methods and bottled early to ensure all the integrity and vitality of the wine was preserved. All this really means is that we feel a drier and more textural wine style is both possible and appropriate.
About the Vineyard
Small production and organically farmed and produced. The soils in this block are well draining schist loam and the vines tend to thrive. Additionally the typically extreme summer diurnal temperatures experienced in Alexandra are responsible for both metabolizing (softening) acidity during the day and then bright freshness is retained from the significantly cooler nights.
