This dry grown, Primitivo fruit is sourced from the Jack and Wills vineyard in Watervale (Ngadjuri Land). Hand picked based on a day where the fruit was delicious and crunchy and the acid was bright. 50% was placed in the 1 tonne open fermentors and the balanced was crushed and destemmed on top. Native yeast was allowed to kick off the ferment and selected, neutral yeast was then added around 8 baume to complete it. On skins for 3 weeks, pressed off and put to 2nd season french oak barrels. Racked after 14 months and bottled. No fining or filtration.
$30
New to the range, this is the only Primitivo grown in Clare Valley (that we know of). If you are after a wine that is soft, balanced, has lovely feathery tannins and all the flavour, then this is the wine for you. The whole bunch gives the wine a layer of crunch and tannin while the fruit gives the wine, lovely colour, strawberries, clove, hint of citrus and a refreshing mouthfeel. Pulling back on the alcohol by picking the fruit around 13.0 baume means the wine has amazing slurpability now. A definite ‘must’ to put in your glass.
