Description
Hand-picked on 25th March (Cudlee Creek), 13th (Lenswood) and 25th April (Piccadilly). Wild fermented in open fermenter with 33% whole bunches. Matured for 11 months in French oak (11% new, Francois Frères). Unfined. - Winemaker Note
"A whiff of campfire, sarsaparilla and maraschino cherry, the confluence of flavours almost negroni-like with fecund strawberry and clove beneath. The tannins, sinewy and gently astringent, brush the sides of the gums while corralling and compressing the fruit into a mould of freshness and approachability. I like this, by virtue of its structural latticework as much as its savoury undertones." 92 Points - Ned Goodwin - The Wine Companion
