Shergolds Lane, Dromana Valley, established by the pioneering Hickinbotham family in 1985 Shergolds Lane vineyards is run by a group of friends Geoff, Tony & Liz.

At the bottom of the hill with exposure to Port Phillip Bay it is planted to Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot.

Completely underrated on the Ninch, this is our second vintage working with the fruit.

Whole bunch pressed on a slow and gentle press cycle before being transferred to the barrel with some solids.
Wild yeast fermentation began some days later in two old french barriques.
Sulphur was added late - winter after a small malo, some generosity to balance that quivering acid.
There was minimal batonnage before the wine was left to settle.
After 9 months in barrel on full solids the wine was carefully racked for the first time before being left to settle in the tank for a further 4 weeks

Bottled unfined, unfiltered.

Citrus rind, cucumber and jasmine, a touch of richness from time in barrel, refreshing acidity.

Please find some oysters or fish to accompany, you will not regret.
