$260.00 GST Included

SHIPPING INCLUDED AUSTRALIA WIDE

In 2014 we were harvesting grenache for rosé from our 2001 estate plantings. 3 days after the pick, we noticed an entire row (row 17) was still hanging. My Dad of course denied responsibility, claiming to have never missed a row in 45 years of viticulture.

He clearly needed glasses! We decided to hand pick the remaining row of fruit direct to barrel and footstomped in the vineyard. Years down the track, we don’t deliberately miss a row, but we do incorporate that whole bunch component that adds a distinct rose petal lift to this wine.

This is the 3rd time we have had the opportunity to purchase fruit from Steve and Tracey Koch. This beautiful single vineyard heading towards Lyndoch was planted in 1976. The west-facing slope has quite a bit of red loam soil on top of limestone, giving the fruit great complexity. Spur pruned on permanent arms.
