Vineyard: She is elegant and beautiful, gentle and mesmerising. She knows only love and bears no grudges. She is also super delicious being a riper expression of the Grace and the perfect follow-on from the 2020 release Fruits are from Deanery Vineyard, Balhannah - Adelaide Hills

- Region: Adelaide Hill
Winemaker’s Comment: Pressed directly to oak, 30% new French. Wild ferment. The wine stayed in these barrels on full lees until bottling in October. I stirred weekly after primary ferment for 3 months. . The wine has undergone full malolactic fermentation. The wine had a rough rack out of barrel and then settled in tank for a few days prior to bottle.
Bottled unfined, with a small add of Sulphur at bottling. No other adds.
Aroma; stone fruits, grapefruit, red apple and lemon balm
Palate: The palate leaning a bit more into preserved lemon, ginger, a touch of light quince and cinnamon-vanilla cream. A faint chalkiness in texture through the finish adds some pizzazz and the trail of briny minerality that lingers is a delight
Alcohol: 12%
