Barossa Valley Roussanne, Greenock 2022

Growing season: Fair winter rains were punctuated by a rare hailstorm in late October, damaging many of the young shoots and reducing yields. There followed a mild summer and unusually temperatures never exceeded 40C!

Winemaking: Hand-picked on the 17th of March, destemmed and pressed, fermented in tank and French oak puncheons (28% new), matured for nine months on lees. Filtered and bottled.

Produced by Michael Hall Wines

Michael Hall is a renowned, award-winning, South Australian-based, micro-negociant making individual wines that reflect their place. He sources fruit from carefully chosen single vineyards in the Barossa Valley, Eden Valley and the Adelaide Hills to produce small-batch, precise, expressive wines. Michael was originally from the UK, and he released the first vintage of Michael Hall Wines in 2008, bringing his wine dream to fruition after two decades as a jewellery expert at Sotheby’s in Switzerland. To prepare, he enrolled in wine science in Adelaide and absorbed as much knowledge as he could working stints in Australia with Cullen, Giaconda, Henschke, Shaw + Smith, Coldstream Hills and Veritas; in France with Domaine Leflaive, Meo-Camuzet, Vieux Telegraphe and Trevallon.
