Tasting Notes

The palate is wonderfully smooth, with graphite-like silky tannins and steely acidity. The flavour profile leans into bright red currants, rhubarb, cranberry and goji with a suggestion of sourdough crust. Highly focused and precise with a mouthfeel that sharpens to a point. Very approachable upon release.

Vintage

The 2022 growing season began with above-average rainfall in winter and spring. Despite lower-than typical rainfall in August and September, October brought abundant falls that set our vines on a course for success. Summer was characterised by mild conditions, with temperatures exceeding 35°C on only a handful of occasions. This environment was conducive to slow and steady grape maturation and resulted in veraison occurring a month later than usual. The additional hang time on the vine proved advantageous as it fostered exceptional flavours, ripe tannins and finely tuned acidity.
