Lovely white peach & pear fruit. Creamy ‘barrel ferment’, cashew nut supported by a citrus/ mineral freshness.

An intoxicating mix of stone fruit purity and an edgy flintiness. Vanillin oak spice richness finishing with a crisp clean acid tail.

winemaker comments
Hand-picked and gently pressed has maximised the ‘fruit core’. Barrel fermented and partial lees stirring added complexity and richness. 2011 vintage will age gracefully with lovely natural acidity.

vintage 2011 A very cool and late harvest in the Yarra Valley. All of the wines express wonderful minerality with the racy acidity and a fine purity. The cool weather meant lower alcohol at the same level of concentration and ripeness. These wines will age gracefully.
