growing regions in the world.

region of the Limestone Coast. This wine is produced, blended
and bottled into a fresh, fruit driven style which is perfect for
everyday drinking or more salubrious occasions.Sourced from 13 year-old-vines in Southern Coonawarra, the
grapes for our 2019 Lost Weekend Chardonnay were picked from
the 8th to the 12th of March.
Following harvest, the fruit was pressed off skins and the
pressings were kept separate and fermented cool for 35 days.
The wine was then racked off gross lees to keep the style clean
and crisp before being matured in stainless steel for 5 months
prior to bottling.
Lost Weekend is a fresh and vibrant style of Chardonnay which
will reward short to medium term cellaring. Best shared with a
large group of friends over a big haul of freshly caught seafood!

name from the windmill ('molino') that sits on the edge of the
vineyards where they produce their fruit. In contrast to other
windmills, which turn in windy conditions, this particular windmill is
"loco", the Spanish for crazy, as it turns only on calm, still days.
VINEYARDS
The vineyards are located at an altitude of 500 metres above sea
level. They are dry-farmed and the clay soil is poor, meaning that
the roots of the vines grow deep into the earth in their search for
minerals and nutrients. This helps to ensure healthy, ripe, full of
flavour grapes. The Monastrell vineyards are over 18 years old,
while the Syrah vines are slightly younger, averaging around 15
years.
VINIFICATION
The grapes were gently crushed before being fermented and
macerated on their skins for 10 days at a controlled temperature
of 24-26ºC in stainless-steel tanks. After fermentation the wine was
aged very briefly in oak to round out the tannins. The delicate
grape processing preserved the natural fruit purity and freshness
that is so typical of the Molino Loco style.

Torto valley. Quality is determined by the grape varieties, by the age of the vines, their method of
training and the density of planting. All these factors are officially converted into points, the sum of
which determines the final classification of the property. Here, this sum exceeds 1200 points, ensuring
it belongs to a select group of "Class A" properties. Vintage 2011 was so widely declared because
of the exceptional weather conditions which
differed quite dramatically from the rest of
Europe. A wet Autumn in 2010 left subsoils
nicely damp and able to cope with the near
drought conditions that ensued in the first half
of 2011, then a cool summer helped to
maintain freshness and avoid any overly dry,
raisiny characteristics. Some welcome splashes
of rain at the end of August and early
September helped to ripen tannins (and bring
them back in line with sugar levels) then the
dry days and cool nights that followed provided
perfect picking conditions. The result is a
superb single Quinta Port from the excellent
and early drinking 2011 vintage.
