Whole berries were retained after destemming the bunches (no crushing took place), before a cool, open top fermentation. Fermented slowly for 12 days on skins and then basket pressed to seasoned French Hogsheads for 10 months of maturation. Bottled without any fining or filtration.
We love how well suited Fiano is to the Australian climate, with it’s thick skin and ability to ripen on the vine without losing acidity under the summer sun. It’s also very versatile in the winery, and our aim is to make a style that is fresh, zippy and attractively aromatic. We work with a vineyard at Kersbrook, in the warmer northern Adelaide Hills, which we think is a perfect site growing for Italian grape varieties.
Our bright and vibrant fresh release of the season. A blend of Grenache (71%), Tempranillo (21%) and Monastrell (8%) gently fermented, basket pressed and bottled without any added sulphites.
Grillo is a sun-loving white variety native to Sicily, now thriving in the Adelaide Hills. Handpicked late in the season from the Piccadilly Valley with 2 days on skins, basket pressed, fermented slowly and hand bottled without filtration.
Nero d’Avola is without a doubt one of the jewels in the Sicilian winemaking crown, with it’s dark berried characters and medium bodied nature. Our Nero is grown at a single vineyard in the Piccadilly Valley and hand picked at optimal flavour ripeness, with voluptuous tannins. A glass of this often spills over into a long lunch with mates on a sun-drenched afternoon.
