Wine Summary Image

VINEYARD

John and Helen Cavedon’s vineyard has a gently sloping north easterly aspect, with red volcanic soils containing decaying basalt on the slope the vineyard rises to about 400 metres above sea level. John’s “dry-grown” vineyard is hand-pruned and hand tendered to achieve the best results. It relies mainly on natural rainfall which the underlying basalt retains and assists the vines throughout periods of warm weather, almost drought-proofing in the summer months. The vines run north to south with viticultural practices including vertical shoot positioning encouraging even ripening and providing important shade to prevent the impact of sunburn.

VINIFICATION

Fruit was harvested in the cool of the night. The fruit was carefully handled into press then gently squeezed, resulting in a free-run cut of 450 litres per tonne. Only this heart and soul of the fruit was used. The pristine juice was chilled to preserve the vineyard expression and purity of fruit. Once the juice had settled, it is racked off solids and seeded with yeast. A cool, temperature controlled fermentation was carried out over 18 days at 10 – 12°C. The wine was left on ferment lees for 3 months with monthly stirring. Fined and filtered prior to bottling in magnums.

Expert Reviews

Offered only in magnum and looks impressive. Laden with citrus from lemon peel and juice to glace lime, hints of basil and with attractive chalky acidity but still quite tart and astringent, time will help.

Winery Tasting Notes

Notes Image

COLOUR

Pale straw in colour with a green tinge.

NOSE

Lime and tangerine with hints of fresh lemon and fennel flowers.

PALATE

A pure wine of great fruit intensity. Powerful varietal flavours of lime, orange citrus, and fresh rosemary are balanced by the refreshing natural acidity and crisp dry finish.

Cellar Condition

Provenance; “Place of origin; derivation”

  • The history of the ownership of an object, especially when documented or authenticated. Used for Artworks, Antiques, and Wine.
  • The records or documents authenticating such an object or the history of its ownership.

Whenever you buy wine there is an inherent risk, as wine is a perishable good regardless of whether it is sealed under cork or screwcap. At GraysOnline we minimise the risk to you by providing as much information as possible regarding the provenance of the wine we sell.

We take the time to individually inspect each bottle and photograph it so you know exactly what you are buying. All Private Cellar wine stored at GraysOnline is kept in a temperature controlled wine storage area. Any wine that doesn’t meet our quality standards will not be sold.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Wines displaying a 5 star designation are recognised as being of proven quality provenance, our team has verified that the wine has been stored correctly from original purchase straight from the winery, documentation, where possible, has been sighted and cellaring conditions have been inspected. This wine generally comes from only the best and most respected of wine collectors in Australia.

★ ★ ★ ★

Wines displaying a 4 star designation have been cellared correctly as verified by the current owners. In general these wines have been purchased from retailers or traders and stored in cellared conditions from original purchase.

★ ★ ★

Wines displaying a 3 star designation are in good condition when we inspect and we are able to confirm some cellaring conditions but we are unable to verify all ownership and storage conditions of their history.

A wine displaying no stars doesn’t mean that there is a problem with the wine, it simply means that we have been unable to verify provenance, however a quality image is always available for the purchaser to make their own purchasing decisions.

Private Cellar wine is wine which has been stored for aging purposes in a Private Cellar.

Storing the wine and allowing it to age has the potential to improve the quality of the wine. While wine is perishable and capable of deteriorating, storing the wine can alter the aroma, colour, mouthfeel and taste of the wine in a way that may be more pleasing to the taster.
