Barrel fermented and with nine months on lees, this wine shows white pear, brioche and citrus zest aromas with hints of gooseberry and snow pea. The delicate palate enters crisp and clean with layers of minerality and floral aromatics leading to a crunchy natural acid and French oak weight. The finish is long and refreshing with hints of vanilla pod, currants and graphite.
This Chardonnay is tinted pale green with yellow hints. The aromas are fresh and vibrant, consisting of peaches, cream, nutmeg and crushed lime. The palate has a balanced entry of dense stone fruit and lively citrus flavours. Coating acidity and fine texture lead to a finish of nectarines, toasted nuts and lemon curd.
This first release of Pinot Noir is light red with blue hints in colour. The delicate aromas are of raspberries, tea leaves, white pepper and smoked spices with hints of flint and tilled earth. Crystalline red fruit, subtle peppery notes and gun smoke texture support a tight and bristling palate of lithe fruit tannin under a dark and engulfing humic finish.
Made from fruit off our coolest vineyard, this wine is an elegant style of Shiraz. In colour it is deep purple with rich red streaks and spicy aromas of glazed pears. Cinnamon and cloves form an underlay to darker aromas of raspberry jam, baked orange rind and white pepper.The palate is bright and spicy, with hints of leather, forest floor, cracked allspice and dark chocolate forming a complex medley to fine grained layers of tannin and textures of bay leaf, black olives and spiced apricots. The finish is long and dark, with fresh tones of white pepper and citrus blossom left lingering.
A pale green chardonnay with mother of pearl flecks and a fragrant white pear, jasmine flower and subtle brioche and wet granite bouquet. The palate has an oyster shell and white pear medley of texture and flavour, honed to a delicate yet firm core of structured oak and fruit. The palate is laced with unyielding purity, letting its grip go only towards the end to allow for a hint of nectarine generosity and lift on an otherwise mineral finish.
Aromas of cherry blossom, mulberries and cedar dappled with hints of cigar box, aniseed and blueberries. The palate entry is focused with unbridled precision and drive. Fine grain, yet coating tannins descend into a dark fruit core held in perfect balance by taunt acidity and perfectly framed fruit tannins. A luscious finish with yet more cherries and simmering French oak leaves one both famished and nourished. Cellar for up to 20 years, however we enjoy it for freshness now.
