VINIFICATION
The grapes for this wine were handpicked in January and immediately whole bunch pressed to minimise phenolics. The juice was cold settled for 2 days before being racked clean. The juice was fermented cool (14-16°C) for 15 days with a neutral yeast to retain varietal characters. The wine was then lightly fined with skim milk, filtered and bottled early to retain freshness.

VINTAGE NOTES
The 2022 vintage began in the Hunter Valley with significant late spring rainfall which then gave way to drier but cooler than average weather through December and January. The resulting long, cool ripening period allowed for the grapes to develop complex and intense flavours, whilst maintaining freshness and bright acidity.
