FRUIT
The Verdelho vines have been planted on lean gravelly soil in a harsh environment hacked out of the native Australian bush. The result of this spartan base has been low yielding vines producing intense tropical passionfruit and rich Honey Suckle characteristics.

WINE MAKING
Picked in the cool of the early morning and processed immediately to retain all the fresh fruit characteristics. This wine was fermented cool with natural yeast to allow the natural fruit flavours to break through.
