Another vineyard that needs no introduction to lovers of classic Victorian wines. Still farmed and managed by founder Neill Robb, much like Balgownie, it has been a bastion of quality since its establishment. The wines also enjoy a similar track record of cellaring. The vineyard has been dry grown since planting, with vine roots now stretching deep into the hillside soil - largely composed of shale and mudstone, with an iron-rich surface layer of ochre red loam, essential for its water holding capacity. Once hand-harvested, the fruit was entirely de-stemmed, then partially foot crushed before transfer to open fermenters where it remained for three weeks. The must was allowed to soak until natural fermentation commenced and was then extracted with a combination of pumping over, délestage, and pigage before basket pressing. Elevage took place solely in Spanish stoneware jars for 12 months, before four months in stainless steel after assemblage.
"Fine and layered tannin coats the mouth, carrying inky, ferrous complexity and boysenberry fruit. Redbank eloquently evokes the iron rich red loams, shale and wild scrub of this part of the Pyrenees. Please decant well prior to drinking, or cellar for as long as you like." - Producer Notes
