"Flowers and tangerines with fresh strawberries and lavender. Medium body, bright acidity and a clean finish. Drink now. Screw cap."
"A bouquet of pinosity and charm, floral highlight then core fruit flavours of dark cherry and plum, autumnal leaves, tea and baking spices. Fine chalky textured tannins and acidity deliver and textured palate with a chewy mouthfeel and spices then core fruit flavours that reflect the bouquet. There’s an unfiltered chalky quality adding complexity and mouthfeel, a wine that is delicious today and will continue to age and develop. Best drinking from 2025 through 2034+"

Vintage notes
Climate
The growing season was hotter than usual and faced difficulties with two heavy rainfalls, followed by a long period of moisture that required a quick harvest.
Harvest and winemaking
All of our grapes are handpicked over a 3 week period and included the first year of our new 828 and 943 clones. The wines had an average of 22 days on skins with an average of 10% whole bunch. Most of the wines are fermented with indigenous yeast from the vineyard.
