Long Gully Ancient Vine Semillon //​ David Franz

Zesty lemon curd pie with a smooth honeyed finish. Balanced fruit and textural mouth weight fill the mouth with the light delicate combination of pure varietals, herbal leaves and yeast complexity. The super light and clean palate lingers on beautifully leaving the mouth ready for the next sip.

Vineyard

The Long Gully Road block - planted in the 1880s - is nestled safely in a fold of foothills that mark the start of the Eden Valley and the end of the Barossa Floor. The soil is a loose sandy loam over Angaston marble that gives this Semillon a pure water source all year round.

Winemaking

Hand-picked in the cool of the morning then basket pressed straight to tank. A long, cold 8-week ferment & partial malolactic then resting for 10 months on un-stirred yeast lees has ensured a rich textural tapestry.
