98 points - Andrew Caillard, The Vintage Journal

December, 2022

Medium deep crimson. Lifted dried roses strawberry graphite aromas with hint of musky notes. Well-balanced wine with voluminous strawberry raspberry, musky plum fruits. Fine loose knit chalky textures, superb mid-palate density and integrated mineral acidity. Superb layered wine with wonderful fruit complexity and energy. Drink now - 2034.

98 points - James Halliday - The Weekend Australian Magazine

June, 2023

From a 2ha block; berry-sorted, crushed into 675L ceramic eggs; on skins for 133 days, in the eggs for 13 months. A scented rose petal and spice bouquet lays the scene for an intense yet diaphanous palate that oozes layer upon layer of richness. Drink to 2050.
Producer's Note:

Ovitelli is the most perfumed and elegant Grenache from the sands at Yangarra. Sourced from a single block, the vibrant fruit of those dry grown 1946 bush vines is rewarded with a long, luxurious ferment and a whole autumn on skins in big ceramic eggs.

VINTAGE SUMMARY

A favourable growing season, with good winter rains, a mild flowering and fruit set period, with continued spring rainfall to ensure a healthy canopy. Yields showed good balance between vine vigor and moderate berry size. The ripening period that began late January was very cool, with some welcome rainfall in mid-February. The delayed harvest, with cold nights and mild sunny days, produced excellent fruit ripeness and intensity. The freshness and bright natural acidity of the fruit were a real feature.

WINEMAKING

Sourced from Block 30 (2.0 Ha, planted in 1946 and adjacent to the High Sands block).

Hand-picked 24-25th March and selectively berry sorted. 100% destemmed, crushed and tipped into 675L ceramic eggs. The fermentation occurred in the eggs and remained on skins for 133 days. No pressings are used in this wine. No oak, matured exclusively in the eggs for a total 13 months. Bottled June 2022. Certified Organic/Biodynamic.
