VITAL STATISTICS
Wine details
-
At release, the wine has a cherry red colour to the centre with a vibrant purple hue to the edges.
There is a delicate perfume of Kirsch and dried strawberry with underlying dried bouquet garni.
This is a light to medium-bodied wine with a supple yet generously flavoured palate.
-
The grapes were hand-picked and then quickly transferred to our partner Yarra Valley winery. The fruit was cold soaked for 48 hours prior to being transferred to open pot vessels for fermentation. 80% of the grapes were de-stemmed to leave whole berries whilst the remaining 20% were fermented as whole bunches. The wine was then gently pressed to seasoned French oak hogsheads (30% new) for malolactic fermentation and then matured for a further 9 months before being fined, filtered and bottled.
In the Yarra Valley, dry conditions prevailed in the lead up to the season with a very warm spring leading to an early but even bud burst across all varieties. Warm weather in December and early January further hastened ripening. The second half of January and February were benign with good warmth but no excessive heat. A much appreciated strong rain event in late January kept vines hydrated and healthy. The effect of this weather forced an acceleration of ripening but also a retention of fresh acidity due to the cool nights. The winemakers report generous characters in the wines from this vintage.
Yarra Valley
- Acid: 6.06

EXPERT APPRAISALS
Reviews

Mary Ann Worobiec,
4 Jan 201888 PointsStar anise, black licorice and chai tea flavors are spicy and robust, with a muscular body and a note of fresh earth. Balanced and focused on the finish, where the tannins firm up. Drink now through 2028. -
Campbell Mattinson,
6 Jan 201889 PointsSpicy, soft and easy to drink. No great pretensions but it walks a highly drinkable line between complexity and overt simplicity; it has some interesting/spicy/savoury characters but the edges are soft. It creates a drinker-friendly environment. Meat, cherries, a touch of positive reduction, cranberry. -

10 Jan 20184 StarsEarthy meaty nose has just a suggestion of cherry kernels and intensity of earthy/beetroot flavours on a long fresh palate.
-
Huon Hooke,
5 Jan 201887 PointsMedium-red colour with a slight purple tint. There's a sweet cherry and raspberry and gently pepperminty bouquet - a basket of fragrant herbs, one of which is mint. The same flavour permeates the palate. There's a concomitant hardness on the palate. -
