Made by award winning winemakers whose CVs include top wineries such as Penfolds and Shaw & Smith, their wines are elegant yet complex.
Aromas of citrus, pear, ripe peach and honeydew melon on the nose . Following through onto the palate the flavours are enhanced with subtle hints of honey and nutmeg from the influence of 10 months maturation in French oak barrels.

Smooth, elegant and sophisticated from the moment it sweeps into the room. There’s a lovely evenness of flavour defined by fragile white peach, a lick of mandarin and the softest lemon. The oak is almost hidden, allowing the gentle fruit to do all the talking, right through to a whisper at the close. Seductive.

Hand-picked Dijon clones, partial whole-bunch pressed, wild-fermented, French oak (30% new), best barrel selection. Very powerful and complex. Reduction may be an issue for some - or is it early harvest?
