About The Wine
Fruit from the Chalmers Heathcote Vineyard - an east facing sloped site comprised of the famous red Cambrian soils of the area. The lower vineyard is deep red clay-loam while the higher vineyard is complex rocky terrain of ironstone, dolerite, green basalt and jasper. Chalmers aim to follow organic farming principles where possible and are transparent in their communication when it is not.
Winemaking - Harvested 28 February. 25% of the fruit was placed in the bottom of the fermenters, the rest gently destemmed over the top. Wild yeasts were allowed to complete the fermentation, with the cap being rolled under the juice by hand once a day for 17 days, before being pressed to older neutral French oak barrels.
No additions apart from sulphur, no fining or filtration. Vegan friendly.
About Blood Moon Wines
The first thing you need to know about Blood Moon Wines is that Matt Aulich is one of the most genuine, affable people you could ever meet. He is soulful and thoughtful. You can tell that he listens to his vineyard in the same pensive way he listens in a conversation with another human.
Matt grows grapes in Sunbury and the Diamond Valley while also sourcing fruit for Blood Moon Wines from other responsible growers all over Victoria.
This is wine for the people. Wine that is expressive of time and place. Matt takes a hands-off approach in the winemaking and the result is a sensory experience, textural wines that are considered and harmonic.
