RRP (AUD)

Matured for 11 months in 228-litre barrels, 23% new. Struck-match reduction before citrus and oatmeal on the nose. The palate has immense depth of fruit and bright acidity before a savory finish. Very well balanced – great definition, texture and verve.

Judges Selection [GFW22]

2022 Global Fine Wine Challenge

95 | Intense and complex bouquet of grilled nuts, struck match and nectarine. Round, full-bodied and rich, excellent intensity, power and length. Superb nutty finish. Hint of oxidation on the finish.

87 | Pine needles, apricot, stonefruit, roasted walnut aromas with flinty notes. Oily palate with pronounced oak and fresh acidy.

92 | Bright, zesty aromas. The palate is mealy and layered. The winemaking influence in this wine is strong - and perhaps a touch too strong. I would have liked to have seen a little more fruit.
