Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"Nose — Citrus. Yellow peach. Pineapple.
Palate — Succulent. Textural. Lively.
We harvested out Inlet Vineyard in two tranches: firstly clone 548, then second B95 and 809 clones. Black Rabbit Mendoza came in at the same time as the first of the Inlet clones, all were was foot trodden left overnight then whole bunch pressed straight to barrel. Fermented with indigenous yeast, unstirred weekly until after malolactic fermentation in spring, at which point they were stirred weekly. 75% malolactic fermentation. 20% new oak puncheons. Bottled unfined, filtered in late March 2023."
Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, January 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"A wine with a silken texture and flavours of pear and apple, baking spice and white peach, some grapefruit peel and fine sandy soil mineral flavours. Medium+ to near full-bodied with fine wood and fruit tannins, medium+ (ish) acid line and a Brazil-nut butter highlight. Balanced, well made and ready to drink from day of purchase through 2027. The acid line and citrus highlights along with a developing mineral and piquant frame are key highlights remaining persistent as the wine opens out in glass."
