VINIFICATION
The grapes for this wine were sourced from our local Pokolbin growers as well as the historic Audrey Wilkinson vineyard. The fruit was handpicked in late January, whole bunch pressed and cold settled for 2 days. The clean juice was then racked and fermented cool (14—16°C) for 15 days in stainless steel with a neutral yeast. The wine was then lightly fined with skim milk, filtered and bottled early to retain freshness.

VINTAGE NOTES
The 2023 vintage began in the Hunter Valley cool and wet growing season with above average rainfall in Spring. These wet conditions increased disease pressure which was carefully managed with good vineyard practices. The cool conditions continued into late December and early January but the wet weather cleared to sunnier than usual days. Near perfect ripening conditions resulted in wines that have intense flavours, whilst maintaining freshness and natural acidity.
