Lazy Ballerina is named after a vine trellis... Lazy Ballerina: named for a vineyard trellis system that acts like a solar panel to trap maximum, flavour boosting sunlight. It grows ripe, racey fruit showing up its rivals as silly lollies. Organics: Lazy fruit is grown organically with only natural inputs. We haven't gone through certification yet but rest assured the wine will pass. Everything we have seen in farming tells us low input viticulture is the way to go. If you add too much artificial fertiliser or other products the vines reacted. Better to leave them alone and let them find balance. Technique: The vines are 1654 clone Shiraz. They are hard pruned in winter, Regulated Deficit Irrigated (RDI) for maximum colour & flavour during the growing season then hand sorted and picked off the vine.
