2023 F-SERIES Field Blend
THE SITE The 2023 F-Series Field Blend was made up of 6 different varieties all
organically grown on our home estate. Soils here are of the old
riverbed type; fist sized stones composed of greywacke (a hard, dark
type of sandstone streaked with quartz and feldspar), mixed alluvial
gravel and silt.
WINEMAKING
All varieties were hand-picked on the same day. The fruit was destemmed
and remained on skins for 12 hours before pressing. The
resulting juice was transferred to a mixture of seasoned oak
puncheons and stainless-steel barrels where it fermented
spontaneously. The wine was then left on gross lees without an SO2
addition for 10 months to develop body and texture before being
blended and bottled.
COMPOSITION
Riesling – 30%,
Pinot Gris – 28%
Viogner – 22%
Sauvignon Blanc – 11%,
Gewuztraminer – 8%
Montepulciano-1%
