Description

The CULT classic 'DERO' by Phase Three Wines is back. 

2023 is made up of predominantly Ebenezer muscle with the structure and complexity of our Eden Valley sites. This release sees the dominant component being from Adrian Hoffmann's DV Wolf's Block & Sand Block. With a firm handshake from Mark Bartholomaeus's Gnarly & Mighty Eden Valley Vineyard planted in the late 1800's & Nathan Burley's ripper dry grown patch in Flaxman Valley.

And of course, the customary back vintage Barrique of Dero. The Barrique of 2022 looked great and played its part with dark broody intensity. This blend sees an average vine age of close to 80 years old to tell the story.

Winemaker's Notes

The fruit was hand-picked in 322-473 kg parcels with several passes in some vineyards at various ripening stages.
All parcels were long cool whole cluster fermentations. Then shoveled with pitchforks and

Basket Pressed. With a mix of one new, two second fill, and seasoned French oak Barriques for a 17-month stint in our cool cellar.

Only the very best barrels were selected & blended in the first week of spring - with all transfers done via gravity.
after a short time in tank. 2,200 bottles were filled without fining or filtration.

And of course after school we put the kids to work for their customary duties of helping put bottles in bags. While Mum & Dad wielded glue guns like Bonnie & Clyde!

To us 2023 Dero is a tasty, vibrant deep & complex release. And like all before it loves a big whiff of air to open up and show its full potential.
