SALSA VERDE (2021)

GROWING

• Viticulture: Certified Biodynamic

• Soil: Silty clay loam

• Grapes from Gemtree Vineyard

• Age of vineyard: 20 years old

WINEMAKING

• Grapes: 100% Verdelho from certified Biodynamic block in McLaren Flat.

• Skin fermented for about 10 days and then pressed and aged for 12 months in a large stand-up foudre.

• Pumped over twice a day to extract texture and colour.

• Aged on fine lees until 3 months before bottling.

• No fining, no filtration.

WHAT'S GOOD?

• Bright, lifted, everything Verdelho can bring to the table.

• Soft white fruit components and beautiful floral notes, with tannins and zesty citrus as a backbone.

• The name for this cuvée came from Dave thinking ‘Salsa Verde’ was easier to write on the barrels than VDLHO, so they took the name and ran with it.
