Harvest:Fruit is harvested in the cool of the night.
Winemaking:Fruit was de-stemmed, crushed and gently pressed. This results in a fine free-run cut and a pressing component, with all batches kept separately in stainless steel tanks. The free-run juice is chilled to preserve the vineyard expression and purity of fruit. Once the juice has settled it is racked off solids and seeded with yeast. A cool, temperature controlled fermentation is carried out over 10-14 days. The wine is then chilled and filtered prior to bottling.
Viticulture:Grey loam acid soils over sandstone and slate make up the profile with much of the topsoil littered with rock, proving just how tough the vines need to be to sustain growth and produce quality fruit. It is the slate of Polish Hill River, as opposed to the limestone of Watervale, that gives rise to the point of difference between these styles.
Food Pairing:Oysters, Spicy Thai green curry, Grilled prawns with lemon and herbs, Lemon butter grilled scallops, Ceviche, Tofu stir-fry, Lime and cilantro marinated chicken, Sweet and sour pork, Fresh papaya salad, Seared snapper with lime salsa.
