Tabula Rasa #V17R

Vintage Conditions

 2017 was defined by the very wet winter conditions that preceded it and by the cool, unpredictable and sporadically wet vintage conditions. Careful viticulture with restricted yields and open canopies were essential to healthy development. A late season, up to 6 weeks later than 2015, resulted in wines of purity and tension.

Winemaking

Just as every vintage is unique, is every vintage of Tabula Rasa. Though the consistent factor is some delicious, succulent old vine, whole bunch Grenache, there is always a smattering of other varieties depending on what has thrived in any given season. Minimal intervention lets the fruit do the talking.

Tasting

Living up to our name, we are delighted to present the rule-breaking Tabula Rasa. Each year, the slate is wiped clean and, with no preconceptions, every vintage is original. #V17R draws  on fruit from historic vineyards across South Australia, 90% Grenache and 10% Mataro, this delicious wine captures the very essence of one season in a playful format that just demands to be drunk.
