GROWING
Viticulture: Practicing biodynamic
Soil: Loam over clay
Grape from Kuitpo Vineyard
Age of vineyard: 30 years old
2021 was one of the best McLaren Vale vintages in the 21st century, with really favorable weather conditions.
WINEMAKING
100% hand-picked whole bunch Red Sémillon from Kuitpo.
De-stemmed, then half in stainless steel with extended skin contact and 2 batches in ceramic eggs filled with skins for about 250 days.
All are brought together about 3 months before bottling, with time to settle in and relax.
No fining, no filtration.
WHAT'S GOOD?
Super herbaceous - Koen calls this a “proper winter wine” but it can work with any time of the year.
A soft complex and easy drinking version of Campari, without the bitterness and no need for a mixer with it.
