The shell-limestone soil has a fat, fertile clay layer. Organically farmed for 3 years. This wine is made with 2 harvests from the same vineyard. The first half fermented overnight with skins, second a week later fermented on skins for 1 week. Batches blended and bottled, disgorged after fermentation finished in April.
Michael and Melanie left their corporate jobs behind and started making wine in Michael’s parents’ winery in 2013. After discovering their taste for natural wine, they converted the 6 hectare vineyard to organic practices. They've developed a repertoire of wild delights which are hand-harvested, indigenous-yeasts vinification without sulphur and unfiltered. As well as their natural range, they also make wines with purchased grapes which are very lightly sulphured and filtered for a slightly different market.
