More Information

'This is predominantly the Mendoza clone which is clearly evident in the complexity and power which are hallmarks of this clone, most famously known for its impact on WA wines. It has been sourced from B and E block fruit with select parcels whole bunch pressed to tank and racked with full solids into French oak barriques and puncheons, of which 33% were new. Mainly indigenous yeasts were used in the fermentation, after which it spent 11 months in in Taransaud and Mercury French oak. It’s textured with a more grapefruit roasted almond character. There’s a slightly nutty nougat character in the palate with a little oatmeal cereal influence. Has a dry savoury minerality on the finish. The savoury influence shows through with a trace of varietal popcorn' Ray Jordan

95 POINTS - THE VINTAGE JOURNAL

'Pale colour. Grapefruit, tonic water, saline aromas with grilled nut notes. Well balanced wine with lovely pure grapefruit, nectarine flavours, fine loose knit chalky textures, very good mid-palate volume, a touch of viscosity and fresh integrated acidity. Finishes long and bittersweet. Classical style with mouth watering freshness. Drink now – 2027' Andrew Caillard MW

Where this wine comes from - Mornington Peninsula

Another gem that’s part of Melbourne’s ‘Dress Circle’, the maritime climate of Mornington makes it Chardonnay and Pinot Noir Paradise. Sea breezes ensure the vineyards remain cool, ideal for producing styles with elegance and finesse. Red Hill, Merricks and Balnarring is where the main action is, enjoying the see breezes coming off Bass Strait and the Southern Ocean. There’s also a vast array of alternative varieties that enjoy the peninsula’s maritime climate. Pinot Grigio / Pinot Gris certainly has made its presence felt, producing both clean crisp, easy drinking Grigio styles, as well as richer, riper Gris styles. The whites are made for seafood, while Mornington Pinot Noir is a must with traditional duck dishes – either Chinese style or French.

Excellent wine

I took this wine to a Beefsteak and Burgundy Club dinner last Thursday as Winemaster. All present were greatly impressed with it's quality, nose, oak and after taste. Highly recommended.
