vintage

winemaking

The fruit for this wine was sourced largely from vineyards on the original Deepwoods vineyards in Yallingup. These vines are just coming of age and showing great intensity and verve. The wine underwent 10-14 days of skin contact during fermentation and was then pressed directly to barrel to complete fermentation to dryness and aged for around 12 months. The barrels consisted of 15% new oak and 85% seasoned oak.
