Planted in ’84 and extended in ’86; certified organic in ’21. 100% destemmed and matured in French hogsheads (40% new). A medium-deep, crimson ruby. Exotic aromas of intense, brambly red and black fruits intermingle with dark rose, blood orange and a little leather. The medium-bodied palate is simultaneously concentrated yet beautifully balanced with ripe, persistent and supple tannins rounding out a seriously good wine to drink over the next 10–15 years at least. 97 points – Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion

Whereas the ’24 was quite restrained, this is beautifully fragrant from the get-go, with its bouquet of red and black fruits, bramble and lifted florals. The palate is gently mouth-filling with silky tannins that make […]

One of the most stunningly aromatic pinots we’ve tried in a very long time. Drawing you in with star anise, sweet cherry, blackberry, cola, lavender wood, aniseed, sweet raspberry and cassis. Round and open, the aromatics quiet different to what’s found on the palate. Cured meats, mushroom, fresh compost, smoke and baking spices. Savoury tertiary […]
