Wine
Turkey Flat Pedro Ximénez is sourced from one of the last remaining plantings of the variety in the Barossa Valley, grown specifically for Turkey Flat.
Pedro Ximénez ripens late into the growing season, among the last varieties in the Barossa to be harvested each vintage. The grapes are handpicked and crushed.
After four days of maceration, the wine is fortified with brandy spirit, pressed and placed into French oak hogsheads. These barrels are aged in a solera system, whose oldest components date back to 1997.
As the result of fractional blending, each release has an average age of seven years.
Amber in colour, Turkey Flat Pedro Ximénez is rich and intense with citrus peel notes, nutty characters and a background of freshness. Serve chilled, soon after release.
