The fruit was hand picked into half-tonne picking bins, then foot stomped to burst the berries and encourage the natural fermentation to commence. 18% of this wine was fermented as whole bunch in this way, with the balance fermented on skins for 14 days in open top fermenters. Basket pressed to French oak foudre & seasoned puncheons for 12 months, before bottling with no fining.

Palate

Bursting with blackcurrant and blueberries, this wine shows the typical characters found in the Western side of the Barossa- chocolate/mocha and black pepper, but with a surprising freshness to the wine. Frankincense and blackberries jump out of the glass, along with a slight leafiness, which comes from the whole bunch component in the wine. Soft and juicy on the palate, but with a backbone of tannin from the whole bunches that draws the wine across the palate giving it length and precision.

”I really like these new school Whistler wines. They are built around a central tenet of drinkability. Pure plummy fruits lined with spice, licorice, pressed flowers, chocolate and earth but they've light and space within and aren't just plinths of monolithic fruit and tannin. There is enjoyment to be had here without pontification and, more often than not, that is just what the doctor ordered. You can safely give this one a chill, too. ”
– Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion
