TURKEY FLAT VINEYARDS BAROSSA VALLEY
Turkey Flat owns two estate vineyards within the Barossa Valley- the original 'Turkey Flat' near Bethany, and the sloping, westerly-facing Stonewell in the heart of the Barossa Valley. They are both in very different sub-regions and give us the ability to blend the attributes of each sub-region into our wines.
To a large degree our winemaking begins in the vineyard. We spend a great deal of time managing vine vigour, controlling shoot growth as well as shoot and bunch thinning. This helps to reduce yields and open up the vines to let in the sunlight. We are also spending a lot more time trying to understand when the grapes are mature.
We are not industrial winemakers and try at all times to keep the winemaking process simple and traditional, to not interfere with the true expression of the vineyard.
NV PEDRO XIMÉNEZ
VARIETY 100% PEDRO XIMÉNEZ
This fortified Pedro Ximénez was made from grapes grown specifically for us by a number of traditional Barossa grape growers. Pedro Ximénez are amongst the last grape varieties to be harvested each vintage in the Barossa Valley.
The grapes are hand harvested, crushed, and after maceration for 4 days, fortified with brandy spirit, pressed and matured in French oak hogsheads. Aged using a Solera system, this blended wine has an average age of 7 years. Careful consideration is given to creating nutty characters with a background of freshness.
Enjoy with: Rich foods, sweet or savoury. Best picks? Chocolate truffles, patê, figs, sticky ribs, blue cheese & charcuterie. Serve chilled.
TASTING NOTES
Originating from Spain, Pedro Ximénez is a rich and luscious Sherry-style wine. The palate is laced with notes of toast, buttered popcorn, salt caramel and Christmas cake.
