Winemaking
A fantastic vintage across the Barossa, with little rainfall recorded in the lead up to harvest resulting in no disease pressure. On the 12th March the Ebenezer block was harvested and transported to the winery to be fermented in sweeping arm fermenters at 25 to 28 degrees. Pressed at one baume, the wine was racked into stainless steel for malolactic fermentation and then transferred to oak - 80% French with 40% new oak and 20% American Oak for 12 months. Planted in 2013, 2018 was the first vintage we were able to work with this fruit - and it was so exceptional we decided to bottle a small parcel on its own. The best barrels have been selected and a dash of Mount Lofty Shiraz was added for extra weight and complexity.
