It’s concentrated. It’s a blaze of struck match funk. It has grapefruit and sweet lime, peach nectar and barley sugar. It explodes, it sizzles, it burns and it blooms. It can’t be pigeon-holed other than under the heading An Experience. It’s not-so-much sulphides soaked in water, as sulphides nestled in a spread of flavour. It all feels harmonious but it also feels a bit much, the latter likely a personal response only. 93 points – Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front

Notes
Hand picked on 7th April 2014, UCD Clone 6 at 21.9 Brix and Mendoza on at 23.2 Brix. Clonal composition: 75% Mendoza, 25% UCD6. Organically farmed. Whole Bunch pressed with some footstomping first using gravity to tank under a Waxing Gibbous Moon. Settled post press for 24 hours before racking by gravity to one new 500-litre puncheon, one used 500-litre puncheon and three old barriques. Wild ferment and then kept on lees until February 2016 with no SO2. “Malolactic fermentation did not completely finish because I got too nervous and decided to bottle at about 1g/L malic acid from a start of about 5.5g/L,” says PJ. SO2 added just before bottling on 10th February 2016. 13.5% alcohol; 3.24 pH; 8.1; g/L titratible acidity.
