AROMA
Toasted and cedar aromas.

PALATE
Some complexity with savoury flavours, minerality with fresh acid. Balanced and delicate.

VINIFICATION
De-juiced with only slight pressure. Sent to barrels for fermentation and inoculation. No fining. Fermented at ambient temperature. No Malolactic fermentation. Kept 10 months in barrels then cold stabilised before filtration.

VINTAGE
Another wet spring due to La Niña. No frost in October. After some good spring rain, the weather did not warm up enough at flowering to get a good bunch set. The bunches were all there but had small berries and they were also underweight. The increase of the density of the canopy resulted in an increase of workload in the vineyard.
January to March were nice and warm with no extreme allowing the crop to ripen nicely.
Therefore, the quality of the wine is excellent

REGION
The highly acclaimed Frogmore Creek wines are from the genuine cool-climate of southern Tasmania, where our grapes benefit from a long growing season amongst our pristine natural environment. These slowly-ripened grapes develop pure fruit flavours, fresh natural acidity and are perfect for making world class cool-climate wines.
