Viticulture
Varietal:Malbec (100%)
Vintage:2023
Region:Margaret River
Conditions:The growing season began with a late budburst due to a cold winter, followed by a cool, wet spring, resulting in an extended flowering period, with good fruit-set for most varieties. The lack of Marri blossom meant that bird pressure was extreme. Though ripening was delayed for most varieties, the very dry, mild summer offered perfect ripening conditions, allowing fruit to retain wonderful natural acidity.
Winemaking
Alcohol:14.5%
Bottle Size:750ml
pH:3.45
Winemaking Notes:The fruit was crushed and destemmed then fermented in a static fermenter at 25°C for 6 days, during which the cap was managed by regular aerative pump overs. After a gentle pressing near the end of ferment the wine completed fermentation and MLF. The wine was blended, filtered and bottled without any fining.
