Sourced entirely from the family-owned vineyard at Granton, 20km North of Hobart. The seasons become more defined the further south from the equator you are. Granton at 43 degrees south, is located inland on the shore of the Derwent River. This position offers important diurnal temperature range with some maritime influence, a unique combination that allows for a precise expression of terrior.
Ancient 200 million year old gravel/silt soils hold the key to vigour control and minerality expression in this wine. The north-facing slopes and dry growing conditions bring ripeness and flavour, while biodynamic management brings clarity and precision to the wine. Vine age and low rainfall build intensity and fruit richness. The vineyard’s multi-clonal plantings contribute to complexity.
Loose-knit on entry, then the oak to mineral seams stretch the stone fruit to white fig flavours across the palate on one hand, while corralling them into a creamy core of oatmeal, nougat and nutty nourishment on the other. This builds glass after glass, with the mineral quotient becoming more and more intense, the flavours more expansive. A top-barrel selection from the hillside block.
