From the Forest Hill website: www.foresthillwines.com.au
Our Block wines are made from small, carefully selected parcels of the best old vine fruit from the Forest Hill Property including the original 1965 vines. Cane pruned and hand harvested, these special blocks are very low yielding due to age and relying only on natural rainfall. If the vintage proves to be challenging for a variety, we will not make a Block wine that season. The Block wines are powerful yet refined and elegant, and will reward cellaring.
Forest Hill is a 5* Halliday winery.

Bright yellow straw with green hues. Prounounced aromas of jasmine, lime blossom and sea spray. The palate displays citrus zest, fresh lime/grapefruit, minerality and slate. Natural acidity drives the long mineral palate and typical Block 1 chalky texture.
