Vineyard - Chalmers Merbein site in the Murray Darling region. Chalmers have spent years refining their approach to viticulture which includes heavy use of organic carbon to improve soil and increase water holding capacity. All nutrient and the majority of fungicide applications utilized are organic. Residual herbicides are not part of the Chalmers regime as soil microbial health is paramount. Mulch and weed control trials are currently underway to permanently remove the need for chemical knock-down herbicide use.

Winemaking - Again an early pick to build in freshness. Whole bunches pressed to tank for fermentation by wild yeast. Maceration was the time it took to complete the press cycle. After 20 days the wine was cooled to settle and bottled. There have been no additions to this wine (preservative free), and there has been no fining or filtration. The wine is not disgorged.

Vegan friendly.
