The grapes come from unirrigated bush vines planted in 1946 on a deep white sand dune above the North Maslin Sands in Blewitt Springs. After selective hand-harvesting and sorting, 50 percent was destemmed and crushed, while 50 percent was fermented as whole berries with wild yeast in stainless steel. For some batches, the skins remained in contact for up to two and a half months. The wine was aged in used Austrian and French foudres and puncheons, as well as in a ceramic egg and amphora. A complex, perfumed and elegant style with pronounced, finely structured tannins can be expected.
