2021 Old Station Fume Blanc

Old Station was named in honor of the first single track rail line which opened in Coonawarra in 1887 and today borders one of our most important vineyards, the ‘Station Vineyard’. This range was created to highlight the diversity of the Coonawarra region through classic varietals. Available exclusively through the Brand’s Laira Cellar Door.

Winemaker Notes

The fruit for this wine was sourced from our Station Vineyard, Fruit was harvested in the cool of the night and immediately pressed, and only the high quality free run juice portion was utilised. After cold settling then racking, fermentation was initiated in tank. Following partial fermentation, the juice was transferred to a mix of new and used French oak barrels to complete fermentation. The wine was matured on yeast lees in barrel with regular stirring to give the wine creaminess. The barrels were assessed and blended to produce the final wine.
