Another lovely vintage, generous in style and quality. The even conditions this vintage lead to wines of power and structure, with a lovely core of fruit. While the 2015 wines were all about fruit purity and high natural acidity, the 2016 wines are about rich, ripe fruit and phenolics resulting in intense ripe, structured wines which should, like the 2015’s, cellar well for many years.This wine is made from specially selected fruit from Hugh and Isabelle Robinson’s vineyard on the Old Moorooduc Road, celebrating the individual character of this special site.
Pale gold with elegant aromas of Meyer lemon, aniseed, white nectarines and a hint of nutmeg spice. Fresh and tangy, with lemon fruit, peach skin and a touch of seaspray on the palate. Lovely length and texture on the finish.Enjoy with chicken pot pie, or baked soy-glazed salmon.

Produced from the two best Dijon/Bernard clones 95 and 96, otherwise standard winemaking protocols. Here precision and urgency take over, grapefruit entering the fray, and generating extra length as it does so.
