Palate
The most structural and savoury wine in the range, brooding in character with earth and briary characters dominating the palate.
Vinification
The fruit was hand-picked on the 4th of April and processed as a 100% whole bunch ferment.
After a slow and cool ferment, the fruit was pressed to large format neutral French oak where it remained
on full lees until racking for bottling in May 2024.
Region Notes
Sourced
from the Top Bush block on the Wait vineyard in the Blewitt Springs sub-region of
McLaren Vale. Planted in the mid 1940’s, this block is dry grown and provides small berries with intense
flavour and prominent tannin.
