Hand-picked and sorted, destemmed, wild yeast open-fermented for 19 days, matured for 10 months in French oak (15% new). The spicy, savoury bouquet and palate result from perfectly balanced fruit, oak and tannin support. There is no chest beating here, simply encouraging the Upper Yarra GPS to express itself.

Full red colour with tinges of purple and a sweet dark cherry aroma, clean, pure-fruited and discreet. The palate is very intense as well as dry, savoury and firm, with abundant tannins. Excellent balance. It has depth and richness and I’d expect it to age well and reward some cellaring.28 JUL 2017
