EXPERIENCE - BEST TASTING EXPERIENCE 2021 from @gtwinemag in the Annual Cellar Door awards!! How good is that!

I just finished a Pick & Sip Tour with some visitors, and then found out that we have just been awarded this fantastic accolade 🍷🥂🍾

A tour with the winemaker, in a beautiful garden, seeing, smelling, and tasting is a totally unique tasting experience in Australia.

SEE - Colour and flavour and tannins are in the grape skins which means that during the fermentation of red wines, it is super important to use techniques to extract colour, flavour and tannins from the skins. This process which I use a lot, is called drain and return.

Each day, for 4 to 5 days, I pump the fermenting liquid away from the skins, splashing and aerating the ferment using this racking plate.

The fermenting juice is then pumped back into the fermenter, and onto the top of the grape skins.

SEE - Mataro AKA Mourvedre grapes, handpicked yesterday and it will be crushed today, along with our Petit Verdot and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Our winery is right next to our Cellar Door, so if you visit today you will see some of the vintage action!

VINTAGE 2021 - Well to say it's been a difficult

VINTAGE 2021 - Well to say it's been a difficult vintage, is a huge understatement!! This has to be my most challenging vintage that I can remember in my 25 plus years of being a winemaker and that's saying something!!

We've had rain, showers, humidity, and cool nights ina the past couple of months, BUT despite this, and a reason to celebrate BIG time, is that we harvested our Elevation Cabernet Sauvignon this afternoon ar 4pm. It rained this morning 😭, then we had a second version of Easter Sunday 😏 - warm, blue skies, no rain and wind starting at lunchtime. We also handpicked our mataro/mourvedre and petit verdot today too.

Looking at the Cabernet grapes in the bins this evening, we're very, very happy, they look and taste great.

Big thanks to @vinetorque and #bacchuslabour. Growing grapes and making wine involves so many other small regional businesses working in with us and we all experience the ups and downs that each season brings. We can't do what we want to do without them 🙌

TASTE - 3 years of work in the vineyard and in the winery, then you get to taste and enjoy our Elevation Cabernet.

These bunches sampled today started out developing on our vines in 2020. Following harvest, the wine made from them will mature for 2 years in barrels, then another 6 months in bottle before we release the 2021 vintage of Elevation.
