Golden Amrita, a small estate vineyard situated in Barossa Valley, famed wine-producing region northeast of Adelaide, South Australia acquired in 2017 by The Liu family renowned for making the finest aged Pu’er Tea in Yunnan Province, and subsequently set about to lavish the same care to the viticulture of the vineyard as they give to their precious ancient tea trees in Yunnan. Lùmenval vineyard (Lù- deer, Men – human, Val – valley) is based on the site of an old deer farm. The 26 year old vines grow in a sandy loam soil with ironstone overlaying a rich orange clay, which produces low yields of small berried bunches of highly flavoured Shiraz grapes. A small component of whole bunches are included in the batch fermentations to lift fruit aromas. This wine is a selection of the best parcels from this vineyard aged in a combination of a ceramic egg, a large format vat and fine grained French oak barrels (new and 1-2 year old) for 18 months, then bottle aged for 12 months prior to release.
