Preserved lemon pith, shaved almonds, grapefruit pith, white peaches, apricot.

VINIFICATION

Sourced from three of Tumbarumba’s oldest vineyards; Johansen/Glenburny, Wondalma and Tooma. Grapes are handpicked and whole bunch pressed straight to 35% new French barriques and puncheons balance to 1 to 4 year French barriques. Wild yeast fermented and left on lees to go through full malolactic fermentation. The wine is then kept on lees. Barrels are stirred and topped weekly. No finings. Filtered and bottled early February 2023.
