The process of winemaking is
one requiring patience and skill. The ingredients for a great wine
go well beyond simply the grape. The type of soil, the slope
and climate are all elements that contribute to the final taste.
In the Sulky area, there is a long, cool ripening season. This gives the vines every chance to draw the maximum nutrients required for good wines.
Nets are used for protection
from birds. White wines are harvested around Anzac Day (April 24)
with the reds a few weeks later.
Dulcinea is a small winery
based on flexibility with much movement of barrels, bins, fermentation
vats and storage tanks during both vintage and maturation. The winery is also used by
other vineyards which have their small parcels of fruit turned into wines
which they in turn sell.
