Product Details

Alcohol Level: 14%

Weight: 1.00 kg
Tasting Note:
A blend of 50% Matthews vineyard at Berrys Creek in South Gippsland and 50% estate grown fruit from our Baw Baw Shire vineyards. The Matthews vineyard was planted on red volcanic soil in 1998 and has always been dry grown. It is a cool, damp site and the vines grow dense, lush canopies. The resulting wine has complex berry fruit aromas including blackcurrant, raspberry and blackberry with subtle wood spice and earth. While it shows the red earth and dark fruit aromas we have come to expect from the Matthews vineyard, the Baw Baw Shire components provide the structure, weight and complexity.
Sites:
Purchased fruit from Berrys Creek Vineyard in South Gippsland is blended with fruit from their lease hold vineyards in Baw Baw Shire
Vintage notes:
The 2019 season was was very dry but not hot and, in fact, yielded the lowest alcohol levels William has seen in many years.
Vineyard notes:
Berrys Creek Vineyard is planted at 6500 vines/ha on red volcanic soil at 150m elevation. It was planted by the Matthews family in 2000. Our leased vineyards are also all planted on red volcanic soil and range in elevation from 150m to 300m. The vines are between 20 and 40 years old and are, as of July 2020, all certified organic. Yields are always less than 5t/ha. All of the sites, including Berrys Creek, are dry grown.
Winemaking:
All of the fruit is hand sorted and then fully detsemmed. Whole berries are transferred by gravity to both wooden and stainless steel open vats. Fermentation takes place without any additions, temperature control, punch downs or pump overs. The must was pressed after 30 days and then matured in 20% new Australian made french oak barriques. The wine was assembled and a small SO2 addition made before bottling without fining or filtration in December 2019.
