From the Winemaker:
A blend of usually two vineyards from the floor of the Barossa Valley, one of them around 140 years of age, the other about 70 years of age. I age my Mataro in larger format older French barrels – usually 500 litre puncheons to slow down the maturation and decrease the oak influence.”
Vintage 2022 kicked off with average to above average rainfall during winter through to November giving way to a very dry December with a large rain event in February freshening up the vines leading into harvest. Yields from the vineyard was low but the fruit showed excellent intensity with acid levels holding in the grapes for a prolonged period providing near perfect ripening conditions. Winemakers are talking about vintage ‘22 wines as elegant and structured, with depth and length of flavour.
