A single vineyard wine grown to the chilly surrounds of Mt McKenzie in the Eden Valley, crafted to the ancient Italian tradition of racking grapes to concentrate flavours. Frost Dodger are crafted via non intervention techniques. A diet of composts, native grasses and flora is used for ground cover, low water imput and natural sprays for diseases. Grapes are gently destemmed, a third is included as whole bunches into open fermenters for a warm vinification to indigenous yeasts. Pumped over, hand plunged and basket pressed to oak for completion of ferments. The final wine is matured in a selection of seasoned and new, French and Hungarian puncheons and barriques for twenty months.
