The hand harvested fruit was fermented in open top concrete fermenters with chilled ferments, hand pump-overs and cap submerging with oak header boards for eight days; the process finished with barrel ferment and malolactic fermentation in new French oak. The nose shows dark chocolate and black fruits and olives, with the palate continuing the theme, showing these typical Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon characters, giving weight and generosity to the wine. Ripe tannins add structure while being supple and mouth watering.

From a 1985 & 1999 planting of Semillon the vines were cordon cut and the fruit allowed to desiccate for three weeks on the vine. After hand picking it was crushed and held on skins for three days to help extract the flavour from the desiccated berries before pressing. Fermentation was long and slow due to the difficult conditions faced by the yeast. The fermentation was stopped and the wine filtered. The wine was then bottled and matured for release. Dessert wine, medium-bodied style with a luminescent straw color. Dried pear, apricot, and figs scent with dried pear and apricot marmalade with balancing acid finish taste.

Small parts of our Mourvedre and Grenache blocks on our Greenock vineyard were identified early in the ripening process to be ideal for the production of our 2018 Rosé. Picking the fruit ripe to ensure the wine has flavour, but early enough (weeks before we picked the rest of the grapes for our GSM) to retain delicious acidity has allowed us to create the type of Rose that will put a smile on the face of anyone who drinks it. Dry, zesty, and pretty!

The Barossa Valley has a very long and proud history with Semillon, and the Ashmead family are excited to bring to you our second release of this variety from our estate vineyard in Greenock. Harvest 2018 gave us good conditions to make this very small batch wine, which we have made using traditional Barossan techniques, and it is our belief that this wine will drink well for many years to come. Elegant, textural, and focused style with a pale straw color.

The two varieties were handpicked and placed into the crusher simultaneously. Fermentation in open top concrete fermenters at relatively cool temperatures to ensure the freshness of the fruit character was preserved, with intention that the wine be luscious and textural, yet be as far from the blockbuster concept as possible. Stunningly pretty and textural style with a light red color. Aroma and palate of luscious strawberries and cream.
