Vineyard Notes
The grapes are sourced from our Homestead Vineyards in Bethany and are some of the oldest vines on the estate. The Barossa was well known in earlier years for its fortified wines and the older plantings reflect their popularity in that era. The vines are trained on a single wire, hand pruned in the winter and the grapes are harvested late in the season as the vine’s leaves are turning their autumn colours. Due to their age, the vines are very low yielding and this adds to the intensity of flavours.
Winemaking Report
The fruit is handpicked late in the season when fully ripened at 15 to 17 Baume. The juice colour of the late harvested grapes is a rich golden amber that is evident in the finished product. The grapes are crushed and left together with the skins for 3 or 4 days before pressing. Fermentation is initiated until the right baume is reached and then the wine is fortified with brandy spirit and transferred in old oak barrels to mature for an average of six years before bottling.
Our unique Old Quarry Fronti is a blend of aged white wines picked from ancient bush vines grown on our Homestead and Quarry vineyards. Predominately Muscat Petit Grains, Muscadelle and Semillon, the grapes are harvested late in the season to achieve rich and intense flavours
Fortified with brandy spirits, these individual wines are aged for an average of 6 years in oak casks. The finished wine is deep golden, amber colour and displays a rich, fragrant nose of orange marmalade, hints of honey and treacle. The full bodied and lingering velvety palate create this deliciously rich and smooth fortified wine.
