Grampians, Victoria |
|
Though Victoria experienced one of its wettest springs on record, we were spared from such extreme weather conditions given our position on the Great Divide; keeping temperatures sufficiently cool and allowing free water to drain. Early hail events and unstable weather during flowering reduced yields, which was a positive outcome for quality as the bunches became more open. Despite the challenging weather conditions, the 2023 vintage will be one to remember. |
Tasting Notes

|
Red and black berry fruits, cedar, cinnamon and pine needles. |

This comes from quite old vines on the granite soils of the Grampians. It’s a bright, tremendously lively, fragrant, and thoroughly appealing medium-bodied red. There’s an essence of purity, freshness and vibrancy from the first sniff through to the final combination of medium-weight sweet fruit, spices, licorice, and fine chalky tannin that pushes it through to a sustained finish.
