Winemaker's Notes

This Single Vineyard Montepulciano is sourced from the Stansborough Vineyard in Williamstown, Barossa Valley. At an elevation of 260-280m, the vineyard benefits from a mix of quartz, ironstone, and shale soils, giving the wine its distinctive complexity and minerality. The vineyard has been run organically since 2017, ensuring the fruit reflects its terroir. Handpicked on 28th March 2020, the fruit was destemmed and fermented with minimal intervention. Aged in a mix of new and seasoned French oak hogsheads for 16 months, the wine has a refined balance of plum, cherry, and herbal aromas with a long, fine tannin finish.

The 2020 vintage produced a Montepulciano that truly expresses its site. After fermentation and 13 days on skins, the wine was basket pressed and transferred to French oak (a mix of new and older hogsheads) for 16 months of aging. No fining was used, ensuring the purity of the wine’s structure and flavour. The result is a complex wine with vibrant fruit, firm but fine tannins, and natural acidity that lengthens the palate.
