Vin pour Dillon - Wine for Dillon.
This wine is dedicated to my daughter Dillon May.
Fresh Spring blossoms, green apple skin and lemon pith. Bright and lifted sea breeze and wet slate minerality, with a savoury almond pastry from time on lees. White nectarines and grapefruit pith on the palate, with a tight, refreshing lemon sherbet acidity.
Serve cool on the first balmy evening of Summer, when the weather feels like it doesn’t exist.. you know the one, 26 degrees and no wind. Goes well with Maribou State’s ‘Hallucinating Love’.
Grown by Con in Yarra Glen, Yarra Valley.
Hand harvested at 12 Baume.
Whole bunch pressed, barrel ferment on full solids. No temperature control. Malolactic fermentation is neither encouraged nor stopped, but struggles due to low pH. Wild Yeast fermentation. Pressed to old 300L & 500L French Oak hogsheads and puncheons for 7 months elevage on full ferment lees.
12% Alc/Vol. Approx 7.1 standard drinks. 750mL
Bottled unfined and unfiltered with minimal sulphur.
