winemaker comments
The addition of 5% Viognier co-fermentation really fills in the middle palate giving structure. Careful oak handling ensured balance and wonderful complexity.

vintage 2010 Cool, dry start to season had us waiting in anticipation and we were not disappointed. A classic cool, long ripening vintage providing intense fruit flavours and lingering concentration. 2010 displays focus, richness and a youthfulness not seen since 2005.
