Winemaking

At 120m altitude, the Oakey Creek Vineyard is a fertile, loamy level block running north to south along old river flats. Cuttings are taken from the original Draytons Semillon plantings in the neighbouring vineyard (dating back to 1914) were planted in 1980 on their own rootstocks. Whole bunches were crushed then pressed into steel at 80C. Free run and pressings kept separate. It took 6 days to settle before warming to 150C for inoculation. Controlled fermentation at 150C in steel for 12 days. Racked off the heavy lees after fermentation, and then aged on the light lees for 2 months in steel.
