Mornington Peninsula
"Medium garnet in colour. Intensely fragrant, a combination red fruits including wild strawberry, raspberry, red currants and cherry combine with some dried herbal aromas of sage and bay leaf. Floral notes, spice, earth and forest floor are woven nicely through the primary fruit. Careful oak handling imparts further complexity to the nose. Concentration of fruit together with an abundance of fine tannins and bright acidity provides length and structure making this wine a good prospect for extended cellaring."
Simon Black, Chief Winemaker.
REVIEWS
"Multiple trophy winner. It's not hard to see why. It's firm but bright, stern but immediately attractive. It throws gorgeous scents of rosewater and strawberry and pulls herbs, earth and dark cherry into the arena on the palate. It has the bases covered and quite a bit extra. Indeed it's a humdinger.” Score 97/100.
Campbell Mattinson, Halliday Wine Companion.
"Builds momentum and then curls out through the finish. Firm dark cherries, macerated aspects, spicy oak, velvety tannin. Seems fractionally advanced but much pleasure to be had here.”
Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front.
