Trutta - Streamside 2023

Ultra-fresh and thirst quenching carbonic Shiraz to keep you cool while you're dropping a line. Bright red berries, sour cherry, and a delicious hint of spice. All packed together in a delightfully chillable half-rose/half-red light red.

In the words of winemaker Jake - Streamside is “the ultimate fly fishing wine.” Chuck it in the river, and enjoy chilled at the end of your day fishing.

NERD NOTES

Vineyard:
The fruit comes from our winery block vineyard, in the Harcourt Valley, a cooler climate slice of the southern Bendigo wine growing region. Well drained sandy granitic soils make up the vineyard, creating expressive, driven wines, with freshness and minerality to the fore.

Winemaking:
Whole bunches placed in fermenter, and covered with CO2 for 12 days of carbonic maceration. After this, a gentle pigeage by foot, and allowed to macerate overnight. Pressed into stainless steel, where it was left for the winter. Blended in the spring with a few glugs of direct press Cabernet.
