REGION

This wine was grown in Handpicked’s Native Point Vineyard on the eastern side of the Tamar and one of the valley’s warmest vineyard sites. Its gentle slopes face north, catching the most of the sun, and drop towards the wide river, which provides a year-round moderating effect.

WINEMAKING

Whole bunch pressed into a large concrete egg and naturally fermented for around three weeks. Critical to retaining provenance was preserving the bright acid line and a complementing it with a touch of sweetness, in true Tasmanian style.
