• Vintage Notes

  2021 saw the end to a four year hot and dry spell here in the Hunter. This milder year brought higher yields and a longer ripening period allowing the fruit to develop beautifully.

• Tasting Notes

  Fruit crushed into stainless steel fermenter and inoculated with a neutral yeast strain. Regular pump overs for colour and tannin extraction throughout fermentation before being pressed into French oak barriques

• Colour

  Dark crimson

• Bouquet

  Blackberries and forest floor intertwined by silky oak

• Palate

  Concentrated red and black berries, supple tannins and a long integrated support of oak

• Peak Drinking / Cellaring Potential

  5-10 years
