At the end of our old vine garden path there is a historic ‘March Hare of the Barossa’ Mataro vineyard at Tam and Jessie Auricht’s near Marananga in the Barossa. The March Hare Vineyard is also ideal at attracting wildlife, including hares who from the first colour in the grapes madly attack the fruit from March onwards and from all directions. After hand picking selected bunches of our March Hare of the Barossa in the last week of March our winemaker Elena Brooks let the whole bunches ferment together in open top fermenters with ambient or ‘other peoples’ yeasts and hand plunging for 14 days, before basket pressing into some new but majority old French and American oak barriques to then mature for a further 20 months in the same oak before bottling with minimal winemaking artifact to capture the essence of the vineyard - its time and place, a wish come true and a looking glass, if you will and will reward cellaring and decanting.
