About The Wine
Fruit from the Witchmount Estate vineyard. Fairly conventional, but new vineyard manager Glen Whitefield is experimenting with cover crops and other innovations to move towards more sustainable agriculture.
Harvesting was on 27th Februrary and bunches pressed immediately. Racked off gross lees after 2 days, then fermented over 25 days in a mix of oak and tank. Matured for 6 months mostly in older neutral French oak, with a small amount of new French oak (10%).
Wild yeast fermented, unfiltered, unfined. No adds apart from minimal sulphur. 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.
