Carefully selected from vineyards across the Clare Valley.

Vintage Conditions

A dry, cool autumn in 2021 lead into good winter rains. Above average spring falls gave way to a very cool, dry summer of 2022. These conditions slowed the ripening of the grapes, resulting in full flavours and good natural acidities. Overall conditions were reminiscent of those seen a decade ago, ideal for the variety making it a rare vintage where quantity is good, and quality exceptional.

Winemaking

Each variety is harvested separately at optimum flavour ripeness and vinified in small open fermenters, where time-honoured techniques of hand plunging and basket pressing are used to gently extract colour, flavour and tannin from the skins. Once pressed, each batch is matured for twelve months in seasoned French oak before the final blend is assembled.

"A beautifully supple and flavoured medium bodied blend offering so much from the exotic aromas through the soft and flavoursome palate. Comes from a cool elevated site which has contributed to its subtle expression of fruit, especially on the palate. Earth red fruits with a little chocolate and thyme characters. So smooth with grainy tannins adding texture and mouthfeel." Ray Jordan - Winepilot.

    The palate is concentrated with red plums, cherries and earthy tones all colliding together. A savoury, spicy backbone is layered with subtle smoke and earthy tones that flow through the medium bodied palate. Silky, plush tannins add to a long and generous finish. The wine continues to evolve in the glass, showing the fine aspects of each variety with flawless transitions that is the hallmark of an exceptional blend.
