Beautiful palate weight and tannin structure with with lashings of mulberries, fennel and tobacco leaf. The palate is bold and smooth, displaying dark cherries and plum, with hints of white pepper. Aged in French oak for twelve months, this wine drinks beautifully now and will benefit from cellaring. Limited release. 

VINEYARDS

The Wilyabrup sub-region of Margaret River is used for its consistency in producing rich fruit flavours, providing subtle and elegant aromatics and fine tannins.

SEASON

The 2023 vintage was long and cool, picking later than we traditionally do. The cool conditions allowed the grapes to slowly ripen, resulting in perfectly balanced flavours and natural acidity.

WINEMAKING

Machine harvested during the cool of the night and transferred to static fermenters for a controlled and cool primary fermentation. After primary ferment each parcel is carefully pressed off. These parcels are kept separate and sent to a mix of new, second and third use French barrels for secondary ferment and maturation for twelve months.

TASTING NOTES

Wonderfully fragrant with lashings of mulberries, fennel and tobacco leaf. The palate is bold and smooth, displaying dark cherries and plum, with hints of white pepper. Aged in French oak for twelve months.
