PFIEFFER VINEYARD (WINERY BLOCK), SEPPELTSFIELD, BAROSSA
FARMED ORGANICALLY BY M&L PFIEFFER AND VANGUARDIST
The Vanguardist range represents the epitome of what we are about. Pushing the realms of standard winemaking to deliver intrigue, excitement and utmost quality...without any loss of sense of place. Ultimate dedication to the craft of viticulture and winemaking, encapsulated in a bottle – through our lens.

VINEYARD AND WINERY
Planted circa year 2000 by the O’Callahan family. Now owned by the Pfeiffer family (Leanne and Matthew) and co-managed by Vanguardist, using all organic practices. Goblet/bush vines of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre are planted to just under 1Ha in total. At 250m altitude on soils that mostly comprises of red and yellow clay-loam.

The slightly cool, and medium rainfall season meant great hang time on the vine. Fruit intensity and natural acidity were as good as I had seen for the past four seasons that I have been working with the vineyard. Harvested by hand on the 26 February and completely de-stemmed in the winery. Spontaneous ferment and gentle hand plunging for 10 days before lock down, and a further 20 days of maceration prior to basket pressing the wine. Elevage occurred in a one year old 500L puncheon, and seasoned four year old 600L Demi-muid for a further nine months on full lees, prior to bottling without any fining or filtration.
