Our late founder, Greg Trott, saw the game of cricket as the most noble of pursuits. As a youth, he even built his own concrete pitch at the family farm to emulate his heroes. Trott envisaged wearing the famous baggy green cap - if only to carry the drinks as 12th man. If the drinks tray sported our adelaide hills chardonnay, trotty would have been warmly welcomed at any cricket fixture. The Chardonnay was hand picked and whole bunch pressed. The wine was then pressed keeping the free run and pressing juice separate in stainless steel fermenters. Juice was cold stabilised below 5 degrees for a week and then racked from gross lees, the juice was then transferred to quality french oak and begins it's natural fermentation from indigenous yeast. Weekly lees stirring is introduced to add complexity to the wine.
