The fruit for this wine comes from the Barich family vineyard located on the River Murray at Loxton. The meticulous and passionate care and detailed work in the vineyard delivers wonderful Viognier fruit at harvest time. This is the fourth vintage from this single site vineyard which has been organically certified for over 10 years. Despite excessive heat in late January and early February, the lead up to the 2009 harvest was relatively cool with flavours developing steadily and consistently. The grapes were harvested in the cool of the evening in early February.

The wine is made using organic winemaking techniques with very little intervention from the winemaker. The grapes were fermented with indigenous yeast naturally present in the vineyard and six months aging on yeast lees allowed the wine to naturally stabilise.
