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 25% new 228 litre French oak barrels for 11 months. Natural 100% malolactic fermentation before bottling unfined and with minimal filtration.

While the Down the Hill has all the power, the cooler, later picked vineyards in the higher reaches of the Peninsula give this an extra layer of spice. Understated oak, sappy red cherry fruit and then quite serious tannins. It’s not a big wine by any stretch, but long and with an unmissable density."
