Tasting Notes

Appearance
2022 Fields of Joy shines a brilliant deep ruby purple in the glass, classic Clare Valley.

Vinification
Crushed and fermented in three and five tonne open top fermenters with regular pump overs; three daily during peak fermentation. Following an average of 12 days of maceration, the dry free run was drained to tank. The skins were then pressed and the pressings combined with the free run, the wine was then racked to barrel. Minimal fining and non-filtered. Maturation was in one to five year old French oak hogsheads and puncheons.

Palate
The palate is dense coating and round. The fruits wave across your tongue and shows a long and lovely softness. Clare Valley’s poise and elegance is the hallmark of this wine, the tannins have a caressing velvety texture and the purple fruits motor away deep into the late palate where this is no hard edges.

Vintage notes
Quality was consistently high across both red and white varieties in 2022 for Clare Valley. Over early Summer cool and dry conditions produced solid yields and fruit with great character and natural acidity. Dryer conditions started to present from December onwards. Luckily there wasn’t a period of extended weather extremes for the vines to contend with. These conditions continued into picking and the start of vintage in 2022, allowing for slow, even ripening of the fruit and excellent flavour.

Aroma
Aromas of expressive bouquets of spice, menthol, plum, cedar, cherry, mulberry and rose oil.
