While every piece of land has its potential, only those with special soils and unique interactions with their mesoclimate can produce single vineyard wines of character, quality and authority. The key is to select those vineyards. And the real expression of a vineyard's terroir (the complex interplay of geology, soil, climate and culture) can only show when the human hand plays a gentle but highly skilled and decisive role in the vineyards and winery. The philosophy in making our wines is therefore very simple. We show utmost respect for our land and environment. We embrace the science and technology of viticulture and oenology, but we are not winemakers. The wines are first and foremost made in the vineyards, attention to detail in everything viticultural and low yields state our attitude. Careful harvesting of fully mature fruit and very gentle pressing and handling of the juice are the cornerstone of our winemaking practices. Juice yields in white wines are low and no skin contact is practised as purity of texture and flavour is paramount. Respect for the juice and fermenting wine, and adopting a caretaker role to the process is how we play our hand. Red wine fermentations are warm, with long post fermentation maceration for complete extraction of vineyard character. Use of minimal natural finings and only the most gentle of filtration and clarification ensures the retention of the vineyards character. Being ruthless with respect to quality. Our philosophy is only as good as our vineyards. In time we will make a range of wines from the same variety that will show what we really mean by terroir. Like most great things it will take time, for our vineyards will need to age before their real character is revealed. Expect some vineyards to become the stars, others to be those very quiet achievers that surprise with time and consideration. Visit the Craggy Range website.
