About this wine
Planta Circa Ancestor Vine Barossa Valley Cabernet
Hewn of low-yielding, highly concentrated berries from ancestral vines in the Zerk Vineyard dating from the 1880s. PF Zimmerman planted 468 Cabernet Sauvignon vines on his family property ‘Woodlands’ situated on the outskirts of Lyndoch. Believed to be one of the oldest plantings on own roots of this variety in Australia, if not the world.
The wine is fermented in an open fermenter with indigenous yeast. Managed with gentle hand-plunging 3-4 times a day. After approximately two weeks on skins, the fruit is basket pressed and transferred to 300-litre oak barrels (50% new French oak with balance into seasoned French oak hogsheads) to undergo MLF (malolactic fermentation). The wine is then left on lees to mature for 6 months before racking back into the same oak and matured for another 9 months. No finning and only very coarse filtration was used prior to bottling.
