The inspiration for this wine is a long standing Goode family joke. Each year while driving to Victor Harbor for summer holidays the Wangolina family car would get the ‘hiccups’ while driving through Langhorne Creek and would need to stop for a break,
After a quick wine tasting and purchase the car would miraculously recover and be able to complete the journey. The grapes were selectively harvested on the 6 of March from Kimbolton Vineyards ‘Lake Plains Road Vineyard’ After crushing fermentation was encouraged by inoculation with a saccharomyces uvarum strain, which increases savoury and spicy characters. Hand plunged for gentle extraction to preserve vibrancy, then matured in 10% new French oak,1 puncheon and 8 barriques for 10 months prior to bottling.
