Season
The 2023 season was long and cool. Steady and consistent ripening matched with low crop loads ensured all varieties ripened well with the benefit of good-sized canopies. Mild, cool nights enhanced flavour development. The resulting wines are richly flavoured and high in quality with incredible aromatics.
Vinification
Sourced from 2 distinct vineyards across cooler parts of the Hills. Each parcel was fermented separately and then basket pressed into French oak Barriques and left to mature in our underground cellar for 4 months.

"First reaction is to consider this wine hard to pin down and maybe even a little light on potential. That would be wrong. It’s a quiet one. Take your time to get to know it a little better. Red cherry, cranberry, thyme and spice aromas. Take in the sinewy texture, the snappy fresh, lively flavour and consider what lies in store beyond the immediacy of the sour cherry notes, the hint of bon bon confection, the spice and pepper. It’s coiled and will be rewarding to see it – taste it – unfurl"
