From the Leech Vineyard in Drysdale, located in the heart of the Bellarine Peninsula. More sheltered than
Portarlington but still influenced by its maritime climate, this site is planted to MV6 clone on grey sandy loam
over yellow light clay.
Fruit was handpicked and fully destemmed into open fermenters. Wild yeast fermentation with twice-daily
punch downs lasted 9 days on skins, before pressing to oak for natural malolactic fermentation. Maturation
took place in French barriques, 20% of which were new. - Franc About Wine, Distributor.
