Clare Hills Clare Valley Riesling 2019 By Neil Pike

The grapes for this wine were both machine and hand harvested, then transported to the winery, crushed, chilled and pressed as soon as possible prior to the juice being clarified by cold settling. It was then inoculated with a neutral, pure yeast culture and fermentation carried out in stainless steel temperature controlled tanks for on average 25 days. The wine was stabilised, blended and then filtered prior to bottling in June 2018.

Einzellage 100 Year Old Vine Valley Floor Barossa Valley Grenache 2017

Sourced From One Of Barossa Valleys Most Revered Growers from a single vineyard located on the outskirts of Tanunda on the Valley Floor from a vineyard which just celebrated its 100th birthday. Fruit was picked in early hours of morning when temperatures were at their lowest for the day to ensure fruit remained crisp whilst being transported to winery. The grapes were destalked and placed uncrushed into small stainless steel open top fermenters. Cultured yeast was used to start fermentation and the tanks were hand plunged spending 7 days on skins at 26 degrees. The skins we gently pressed and we kept the wine in tank to create a virgin style of Grenache to retain fleshy fruit flavours then bottled with minimal filtration and no fining.

Once the grapes reached their optimum maturity level they were harvested in the cool of the night and promptly delivered to the winery. Once fermentation was completed, the blend was put to together to ensure consistency across the wine. It was then filtered and bottled under cork to preserve the aromatic fruit compounds.

Wild Horn Wines The Raging Bull Langhorne Creek Shiraz 2017

Picked and transported to winery where after crushing it was fermented in open top fermenters then was aged with select older fine grained American and French oak. The parcels of fruit were assembled based on their ability to create a wine which is regionally and varietally correct and has profound fruit flavour, complexity and structure. 

Although drinking well upon release this wine will reward with 5+ years in the cellar.

Chain of Ponds Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc 2016

Sourced from five vineyards stretching almost the entire length of the Adelaide Hills GI. A selection of harvest dates allows the balance between herbaceous, apple and cucumber notes to be carefully entwined with the citrus, melon and tropical notes. All parcels were picked early in the morning to retain the crisp refreshing flavours of the grape. 

The grapes were delivered to the winery at dawn and destemmed but not crushed straight to air bag press in which the free run and pressings fractions were separated and clarified. All parcels were fermented separately with traditional Sauvignon Blanc yeasts. The wine was stored on yeast lees for 4 months to build some mouth feel and texture then blended.
