Tasting Notes
Aroma
Red cherries and plums with hints of cloves and Nutmeg.
Maturation
French oak for 12 months.
Appearance
Deep red with hints of purple hue.
Palate
A silky palate of mulberry and cherry fruit with complex savoury spices. The oak is integrated and provide structure and soft tannins.
Vinification
Grapes for this wine were specifically selected from sites across the Hunter Valley, including our historic Post Office vineyard, which is located on the red, weathered marlstone soils in the foothills Pokolbin sub-region of the Hunter Valley. The fruit was de-stemmed as whole berries to small open fermenters and cold soaked for 4 days. Fermentation lasted 8 days.
Cellaring Potential
10+ years in optimal conditions.
Vintage Notes
The 2024 vintage began with an early spring that saw budburst commence ahead of schedule, with the vines then enjoying a long warm and sunny ripening period, with average rainfall. These elements, along with smaller yields combined to deliver one of the earliest vintages in living memory. Near perfect ripening conditions allowed for the development of rich flavours whilst maintaining natural acidity.

Toni Paterson
The grapes are sourced from the Post Office vineyard. A graceful wine that combines gorgeous, refined fruit with savoury oak to create a complex, layered style. The fruit is silky, long and red-fruited, and the oak is distinctly nutty. Give it plenty of air to harmonise the elements. Points: 94/100
