A large part of the Paulett estate was destroyed by Ash Wednesday bushfires. Nevertheless, a significant planting of Riesling vines, well over thirty years of age remain, a treasured resource which makes up the backbone of the icon Antonina, named for the Paulett's affinity to the original settler's family. The choicest bunches are hand picked into 6kg buckets, transferred individually to the winery and placed gently into a bag press without rendering any juices.The lightest pressure is applied once the press is full, an exclusive free run juice that's reserved for Antonina. Batches are cold settled to remove solids before a slow and even vinification to select yeasts over the course of three weeks.
