6 VITIcULTUrE & VINEyArD THe THE PERFECTION OF FRUIT IS THE FOUNDATION AND CORNERSTONE OF GREAT WINE At Lavina, we believe in the perfection of fruit as the foundation and cornerstone of great wine. Our fruit is sourced from select premium growers in McLaren Vale where site selection, elevation, soil structure, canopy balance and crop load are of priority and taken into utmost consideration. Our premium grapes are produced from 100% Bio-dynamically grown vines that are meticulously managed by expert viticulturists. By eliminating the use of herbicides and pesticides, the soil micro flora and fauna thrive in abundance which increases the natural flavour profile of the fruit. The fruit from our Bio Dynamic vineyards form the backbone and underlying structure for our super premium wines. As a result our wines show incredibly complex and layered tannin structure, which allows us to create wines that will cellar for decades to come.

8 WINe MAKING OUR STATE OF THE ART FRENCH VAUCHER BEQUET SORTING TABLE REMOVES ALL STALKS, PETIOLES AND DAMAGED GRAPES LEAVING ONLY PERFECT BERRIES.

WINEMAKING Before crushing each bunch, the handpicked fruit is individually sorted through by a state of the art French Vaucher Beguet Mistral

9 WINEMAKING Before crushing each bunch, the handpicked fruit is individually sorted through by a state of the art French Vaucher Beguet Mistral mechanized sorting table which removes all contamination such as raisins, leaves, stalks, petioles and damaged berries that would usually end up in the ferment. The perfect berries are then cold soaked in open fermenters for one week allowing natural fermentation to begin, before being over seeded with a French yeast strain. Fermentation is completed after two weeks with the wine delicately basket pressed straight to French oak barrels ensuring no harsh or bitter tannins are extracted from skins or seeds. Great attention is paid to oak selection from different forests and cooperages to enhance the dimensions and flavour composition of our wines. Our wine is carefully matured and aged in French oak in temperature controlled cellars for over 2 years before bottling.
