About this Wine

Our unique vineyard with its weathered sand and ironstone soil, starts this Roussanne’s journey towards being an extraordinary wine. Months mellowing on grape skins in large ceramic eggs ensure a wine of luxurious texture and distinctive flavour.

VINTAGE SUMMARY

The 2022 growing season followed very similar conditions to 2021, though slightly cooler. There were favourable winter rains and a mild flowering and fruit set period. The cool ripening period took place between late January through to harvest in March. Yields were well balanced, and we were pleased with the fruit ripeness, intensity, freshness, and natural acidity.

WINEMAKING

Hand-picked on the 27th of March from Block 6 (1.0 Ha), our oldest Roussanne planting. A small parcel of Roussanne was included in the blend that was picked earlier on the 21st of March. A portion is destemmed, crushed, and filled to 675L ceramic eggs. 52% of the final blend was fermented on skins and remained on skins for 120 days before pressing. Only the free draining fraction retained. The other portion is whole bunch basket pressed into ceramic eggs and fermented without skins. The blend is exclusively matured in ceramic eggs for a further 4 months. Bottled November 2022.

Critic reviews

James Halliday – 97 points, "All fermented in 675L ceramic eggs, 52% of final blend on skins for 120 days, the remainder whole-bunch pressed, a further four months in egg after blending. The power of this release is somewhat of a statement, as is the synchronised harmony of fruit and structure. Power is not to be mistaken for heft, but rather a certain density of matter, an intensity of flavour that Is inextricably locked with a commanding drive of skin tannins and subtle but purposeful acidity. Spiced pear, dried lime, green almond, grippy heirloom apple, dried mint ... flavour descriptors are inevitably clumsy, such is the individuality of expression. It’s even better on day two, promising a very bright future. It’s world-class stuff." - Marcus Ellis (Halliday Wine Companion)

James Suckling – "Among the New World’s greatest whites. It weaves together sandy soils, a Mediterranean climate and a variety that has a salty savoriness. There’s a phenolic thread and a gentle touch of acidity. Complex texture from extended skin maceration in large ceramic eggs. Herbal tea, salted quince, lemon rind and pumice-like details. The ‘22 is the finest iteration yet. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drinkable now but best after 2028. Screw cap." - Ned Goodwin (JamesSuckling.com)
