Obscura Amber 2024 blends 50% Grenache Blanc, 25% Semillon and 25% Chenin Blanc from dryland bushvines in Darling. The team destems the grapes and crushes them gently into separate qvevri. Natural fermentation begins within three to five days. The wine ferments for about 14 days while the cap is punched down four times daily with a traditional wooden tool.
This vintage spent seven months on the skins. It is their longest maceration yet and follows insights from a Georgian winemaker. Gentle daily punch-downs help extract tannins and shape the wine’s amber colour. The team makes no additions or adjustments and relies on the grapes' natural tannins for structure. After seven months, they blend and bottle the wine unfined and unfiltered. Some natural sediment may appear. Only 1,300 bottles were produced.
