The main white variety of Soave near Verona, Garganega could be described as a Chardonnay anologue but with a different suite of flavours -- tropical rather than peachy.
Colour
Pale straw in colour
Aroma
Typical aromas of preserved pear and tropical guava-like fruits.
Palate
The mouth-filling texture across the mid palate follows through to a lingering finish with clean acidity which is sufficiently Italian in style to make you think you have just swapped hemispheres at a fraction of the cost of an Italian holiday! Full, yet zingy with freshness and a diverse flavour spectrum which encompasses preserved pear, citrus blossoms and tropical tones.
Grape Variety
Domain Day has the first planting of this fantastic variety outside of Italy. The vines are planted on the warmer northern slope of the vineyard to ensure complete ripening and the grapes are hand harvested at full maturity to obtain optimal flavour with subtle tropical aromatics.
Winemaking Note
The use of a mix of four specially selected yeast strains has given a vibrant and complex fruitiness. The pressed juice is settled overnight then cold fermented to preserve the fresh aromatic fruit character typical of the variety. Tropical and preserved pear aromas are left to express the varietal aroma without the added complication of barrel ageing.
Domain Day is a unique vineyard situated on a carefully selected site at Mt Crawford, high in the hills at the south eastern extremity of the Barossa Valley. Its altitude of 450 metres and the mix of unusual varieties make it one of the coolest and most interesting vineyards in the Barossa.
Winemaker Robin Day is an industry veteran with almost 80 vintages under his belt over 40 years of winemaking in 12 different countries. His global knowledge and experience has determined the varieties that have been planted for differing reasons. We have several new varieties to Australia that he has worked with internationally (Garganega, Lagrein, Saperavi, Nebbiolo), as well as the more mainstream varieties he has enjoyed
working with throughout most of his career (Riesling, Viognier, Merlot).
Domain Day has been established using state-of-the-art vineyard design protocols based on soil assessment and analysis to give a 'micro-terroir' approach within the broader ambit of the vineyard.
