Vineyard
From a very particular block at Dash Farm where the western side of the mountain dips to create an eastern exposition. It's a fabulous block of Syrah and one I have wanted to make something delicate from for some time.
The block is planted N/S orientation, granite, 460m up.
Winemaking
Harvested 6th of March, ultra gentle whole bunch pressing direct to old puncheons, only the finest juice taken for this wine. Fermented without addition and blended to stainless just as primary finished (approx. 6 weeks). Malo in stainless and then allowed to settle before racking and a classic tirage bottling.
