First release of an exciting new label from grapes grown in the highest vineyard in Gibbston.

It is a supremely elegant pinot noir with bright cherry, red berry flavours underpinned by subtle fresh herb characters.

Beautiful intense black cherry , strawberry, dried roses, chinotto aromas and underlying roasted chestnut, herb garden notes. Round & supple with abundant black cherry, strawberry, apricot fruits, fine persistent chalky/lacy textures, superb mid palate viscosity and perfectly integrated roasted chestnut vanilla oak. A Brilliant debut wine with lovely complexity, volume and mineral length.

Powerful sweet dark cherry fruit with prominent young oak is lifted by savoury mushroom consommé, & truffle with a dusting of spice. It’s then dry, finely balanced, yet still carries a powerful core of fleshy , games fruits with bright acidity and mouth coating tannins. The finish is long and strong with a classic peacock’s tail gaining more floral and spicy complexity as it lingers till the very end. It’s seriously impressive and an outstanding first release.
It might not be cheap, but it is worth every cent and more.” rrp $95.00
