Expert Reviews

WINEMAKING

The 2020 Clare Valley Vintage saw very dry conditions, accompanied with early spring frostscausing reduced yields. However, the low yielding vines produce grapes with intense colour andrich flavours. Small batch open ferments were undertaken to make this wine. Open fermentsalways produces the best flavours to wine. The intensity of flavour from this premium ClareValley fruit is evident from the first sip of this wonderful wine. Barrel maturation for 24 Monthsgives the softness of tannins and roundness of fruit characters with subtle oak from maturedFrench and American oak.

1838 was the year Walter Thomson, with wife Jane, arrived in Australia and established awinemaking tradition.Faithful to his approach, our estate grown parcels are carefully tended byour vignerons to create wines of great intensity.

Set in the northern range of the cool and picturesque Clare Valley, the high altitude providesfinesse and delicate power to our mature vines.
