LVDO 2023 Mt Torrens Colluvium

Notes from Ludo...
I've been working with this Mt Torrens vineyard for 3 vintages, and as of this month, I embarked on the next step and took the lease to farm half of it. It is tiny (0.6 Ha) but the perfect size to get into farming. This aromatic and delicately textural amber wine is made from the bottom part of the vineyard, where the soils are more alluvial on a dolomite lime mother rock. Mainly Moscato Giallo with small amounts of Verdicchio and Viognier, co-fermented as whole berries and whole clusters and left on skins for 4 months in a single hogshead. Only the slowly 'infused" free-run juice and very gentle pressings were utilised to fill up a single barrique. Aged on fine lees for 7 months before bottling it with 30 ppm SO2.
