2022 Corymbia Red Blend Swan Valley 6 Pack

The tale of vintage is always best told by our wine label. July winter rains exceeded average which were then backed up in October. Timely winter and spring rains are critical for our dry grown vineyard’s survival in one of the warmest wine growing regions of Australia. The heatwave that followed meant that we didn’t need to roast the turkey on Christmas Day. Despite the baking 43’C, the east-west row orientation and healthy leaf canopies provided that perfectly dappled light that us winemakers hark on about. These vines are resilient, they lapped up the hot east winds and blazing sunshine, shouting from the rooftops that 2022 was a great year in the Swan Valley! Evidence is in the glass. The fruit We dedicate our single vineyard Swan Valley wines to Rob’s late father and former Australian Test Cricketer Tony “Rocket” Mann. Tony and Rob planted Rocket’s Vineyard together on their family property in the Swan Valley more than 35 years ago, on what was an old currant vineyard. The fruit is dry grown, organically farmed by Rob and Genevieve Mann. In July 2022 we proudly achieved “certified organic” status with ACO Certification Ltd. The wine The grapes were harvested by hand on the same day. Organic farming with acute attention to detail enabling us to pull off the impossible, Tempranillo and Malbec ready for harvest on the same day. The Tempranillo and Malbec fruit was individually berry sorted and combined prior to carbonic maceration and natural co-fermentation in a single French oak vat. 25% whole bunch Tempranillo was included in the mix. Maturation followed in seasoned 600 litre French oak demi-muids for 10 months.
