Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"A perfect summer created a wine with dark berry and ripe cherry aromas. The palate is round and generous with medium tannins and well-balanced acidity. Some black pepper spices add to the complexity of the wine.
Fruit was destemmed into open top fermenters and cold soaked. The must was hand plunged three times daily for the duration of the fermentation. Post ferment the wine was allowed to remain on skins for up to ten days before the wine was gently pressed directly to French oak barriques (around 20% new). Malolactic fermentation was completed by early spring. "
5 Stars & 94/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, September 2025 (2024 Vintage)
"It's splendidly fruited and fragrant on the nose, showing dark plum, clove, floral, and toasted almond characters, followed by a succulent palate that's supple and soothing. Wonderfully framed by silky texture and elegant tannins, finishing with a lingering and delectable aftertaste. At its best: now to 2030."
Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, June 2025 (2024 Vintage)
"Lots of ripe varietal scents of dark plum and cherry, scents of baking spice, cinnamon and with a gentle wood smoke and earthy quality. Dry, balanced, well made and varietal with flavours that reflect the bouquet framed by textures of fine tannins and a backbone of acidity. Well made, dry and ready to drink from 2026 through 2031."
