"Coolart Road (D Block 100%) :: MV6 (100%). 10% whole bunches with destemmed portion all whole berries, and transferred to 5 tonne concrete tanks. Indigenous yeast ferment typically runs for 25-30 days with some plunging towards the end of the ferment. Following pressing, the wine was transferred to 30% new 228 litre French oak barrels for 11 months. Natural 100% malolactic fermentation before bottling unfined and with minimal filtration.

With such tiny yields it’s a pleasure just to see this wine at all, with the perfect season great for quality but miserable for yields. Coolart is the earliest picked of the Ten Minutes by Tractor vineyards and you’d expect this to be a beastly wine. But it’s not – rather, it’s joyously plump and ripe, a wine of red raspberry easygoing flavour, yet with tannins and grip. Great balance between the need for appealing fruit flavour and structure."
