Hand-picked fruit, fermented wild with 60% whole bunches, matured 18 months in Burgundian oak (25-30% new). Early days still for this little beauty, which brings a stalky wild edge to cool-climate Beechworth shiraz. Stems bring a complexity and structure; they're both here contributing to the wine. Blue and red fruit aromas with green twig, leaf, earth and smoky charcuterie notes. The palate is dense and tight in sturdy tannins with a strong savoury bent. A wine for further ageing.

You must decant this wine well ahead of time to see it in its entirety. This is such a aromatic floral wine with underlying forest berries and fresh earthy aromas.There is a wonderful freshness and precision on the palate. sweet spice, morello cherry, violets and black raspberry fruit. A voluptuous medium to full-bodied wine with striking minerality. Fine grain tannins and sinew ensure a long future of textural pleasure. A seamless palate and silky texture keeps you intrigued. A serious, complete, balanced and concentrated wine. So elegant and effortless.| Product/Service Sold Out | Yes |
