Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"Hints of gunflint over an alluring aromatic profile of nougat, golden peach, fennel, vanilla and creme brûlée. Rich and weighty on the palate, with bright acidity and minerality corralling the complex array of flavours into an elegant and seamless finish. The concentration is exemplary, the oak integrated and the texture refined. A stylish example of a special vineyard.
100% of the fruit is from one of our organic vineyard; Om Santi. The blend is 47% Clone 15 the balance Clone 95. The fruit is handpicked, whole bunch pressed directly to French oak barrels. New oak component is 17%. The fermentation is carried out by the vineyard yeast with occasional stirring to add texture and complexity to the wine. After 12 months the wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered"
5 Stars & 97/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, October 2024 (2023 Vintage)
"A stunning rendition of the variety, showing golden peach, rockmelon, vanilla, cedar and brioche characters, leading to a concentrated palate that's both plush and structured with a sustained, seamless finish. Wonderfully harmonious and multi-layered, the wine offers richness as well as poise, promising to evolve magnificently. At its best: 2026 to 2035."
Rated Outstanding & 95/100 Cameron Douglas MS, October 2024 (2023 Vintage)
"Complex and enticing bouquet with layers of white fleshed fruits and citrus wrapped in lees and barrel spices, bottle ageing complexity and youthful energy. The scents of place and site are distinctive along with the style the Om Santi Vineyard paints. Dry, taut and youthful with pose and elegance, freshness, fine tannins and excitement. A delicious wine with complexity and length, immediately drinking and cellaring qualities available. Best from 2026 through 2034+."
