Picked two weeks later than the rest of our Gewurz, the fruit for our Catherine Reserve was very ripe and full at harvest with the berries bursting with flavour and sugar. The berries were handpicked and whole bunch pressed to give a very luscious juice that was then wild fermented.

Fermentation was only allowed to continue for fifteen days before being stopped with the aid of severe chilling and filtration, leaving 67grams per litre of sugar in the resulting wine.No filtration or fining agents* were used to ensure the delicate flavours of the variety are preserved.

*Fining agents are protein based compounds used to reduce the level of phenolics in the wine so it is vegan friendly.

About Delatite

Join us for wine tasting with spectacular views in Mansfield, vintners and cheese platters, produce, preserves and cellar-door-only wines. Located in the foothills of the Victorian Alps below Mt Buller, David Ritchie and family are pleased to be able to share the landscape and vineyard experience with visitors and wine lovers alike!

Over the generations of farming at Delatite there has been a growing awareness that whatever the farming pursuit, their practices should be guided by what is the best for future generations, not by what is simply the easiest today.

In the vineyard the Delatite team follows Rudolf Steiner’s Biodynamic principles as they believe in growing grapes and making wine in as natural a way as possible with minimal intervention/additions. The only fertilisers used are reactive rock phosphate, fish/kelp/fulvic acid, BD 500, cow and sheep manure concentrate and compost teas. No herbicides, insecticides or systemic/curative fungicides are used – the only vine sprays are wettable sulphur, copper and Bacillus thuringiensis.

This, along with an even, relatively cool ripening period, further strengthens the varietal flavours and characteristics of all the grapes grown.
