- ABOUT THE WINE: We pick the Touriga National with moderate shrivelled or raisin berries and in traditional portuguese style, fruit for this wine is foot stomped. It’s a terrible job because the fruit is chilled first and at 5º it doesn’t take long for the whole lower half of your body to go numb. The period of fermentation is quite a short one because we want to retain a lot of the natural sugars and fermentation consists of 4 or 5 days fermentation on skins. We fortify with a mixed spirit, it’s a 30% brandied spirit with a 70% SVR or neutral spirit. We do this to get some complexity from the brandy spirit but the neutral spirit helps to keep the purity of fruit flavour. The wine doesn’t see a long time in oak, only 6 months before bottling. This is so it can do all its growing up in bottle.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: The original Myattsfield was the family farm in Camberwell, London. More than 175years later, as descendants of Joseph, we are farming in the Bickley Valley, (sub-region of Perth Hills) Western Australia. The Darling Scarp protects the Valley from maritime influences making the climate more continental than Mediterranean in nature. This corresponds to cold nights and warm days. Valley walls reduce direct daylight hours resulting in the daily maxima arriving later in the day and for a shorter period. At 300-350m above sea level, the Bickley Valley is 2-3 degrees cooler than Perth.
