Tasting Notes
Maturation
11 months. 100% French oak. 205% new.
Palate
Characterised by its remarkable balance, this intense and structured wine has layers of flavour, dark fruits, spice and a long, seamless, persistent finish.
Vinification
Our six individual blocks and their various sections were
handled separately in the winery, and vintage 2022
created 20 unique batches of wine. The grapes were
fermented in traditional oak fermenters after gentle
destemming, with 20% whole bunches included. The
wines were then pressed and transferred into 500L
French Oak puncheons for malolactic fermentation.
Racked twice during maturation, bottled February 2023.
Cellaring Potential
Cellar for optimum reward.
Vintage Notes
A long bone-chilling winter in Heathcote led into a mild and suitably wet spring. Soil moisture
was key to getting the season off to this great start. Mild conditions continued throughout the
summer and the harvest didn’t commence until the 19th of February. The quality of the fruit
was as good as we could wish for. 2022 was the first wine certified 100% organic from the
estate after 4 years of transition
