Notes
"The most challenging part of offering this wine is simply the production levels vs the demand.
With only 0.5 of a hectare planted there is little to go around. Samantha has planted another
two hectares across Riesling, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in 2017 so dependant on fruit
maturity we may see an expansion in availability in future vintages.
This is the sixth vintage release from her Tea Tree Pallisander vineyard, planted in 2002. Hand picked, 20% whole bunch with the remainder destemmed but not crushed. Cold soak for three days pre ferment. Pressed off to French oak puncheons (Francois Freres and Ermitage), 20% new. 8 months elevage in oak with a further two months in tank"
