Organically grown fruit for this wine was sourced from three different blocks on our estate vineyards at Frankland Estate (Bush block, Winery block and Outback block). Planted on undulating northern and eastern facing slopes and has duplex soils of Ironstone gravel and loam over a clay sub soil. The vines are all from the low yielding Mendoza clone renowned for Its "hen and chicken" combination of large and small berries in the same bunch. This results in highly concentrated fruit flavours with great acidity. The vine canopy Is trained on a combination of vertical shoot and Scott-Henry trellis to allow increased air flow.
