Tasting Notes
Aroma
A savoury core
presents with olive and briar. Crunchy raspberry and cranberry come to
the fore with some air.
Appearance
Vibrant red with purple hues in the glass.
Palate
On the palate Satsuma plum, wild strawberry and
fine sandalwood dominate with fine tannins giving the wine exemplary
length. The palate shows great intensity and concentration without being
heavy or cloying.
Vinification
40% whole bunch fermented in stainless steel and small
concrete open top fermenters. Matured in a combination of 1,500L Drunk
Turtle (cocciopesto), 950L concrete egg, and seasoned French 2,800L
foudre and demi-muid oak. Bottled February 2025.
Cellaring Potential
Ready to drink now but will continue evolving through to
2030.
Food Matching
Pan seared duck matches the spice and body of the
wine well.
Region Notes
70% Clarendon fruit from Hickinbotham vineyard, 30% Blewitt
Springs from the Brini and Wait vineyards.
