Over the weekend of July 17-18, visitors had a chance to view the bottling of Treeton Estate’s 2009 vintage reds and 2010 vintage white and rose wines. The showery weather did not interfere with a highly successful operation. Many thanks to everyone, as the winery team supported the highly efficient Maurice Lay and Peter Laslett from MAP On-Estate Bottling Services.
The vintage 2009 reds have responded superbly to the new American oak barrels that we provided this vintage. The Cabernet Sauvignon is tasting rich beyond its age but unfortunately, the limited volume will restrict distribution of this already beautiful wine.
In addition to our usual Shiraz release, we have responded to growing interest in single vineyard wines by crafting a wine from grapes sourced entirely from the 24 year old vines in our Valley Block. We look forward to feedback on this stunning new wine after it is released in 2011.
Treeton Estate’ 2010 vintage whites are the unwooded Chardonnay and the Sauvignon Blanc Semillon (SBS) blend that won so many converts with the 2009 release. David is very excited about the Chardonnay – watch this space!
We have used the 11-year old Shiraz grapes from the Park Block for the 2010 Veronica (rose) – photo above. We look forward to offering you a taste of the new version of this very popular wine.
