The copper trail passed through Clare Valley just south of Watervale, through land which today is planted to Annie's Lane vineyards. Copper Trail is crafted to a minimal intervention approach, retaining and enhancing the natural expression of fruit. Small batch open fermentation techniques are employed to keep vineyard parcels separate and to maintain and develop the unique characteristics of each vineyard. Some parcels complete their ferments in oak while others are left to macerate on skins up to a fortnight for maximum extractions. Batches are gently pressed into a combination of new and seasoned French and American oak barrels for up to two years maturation.
