James Halliday Australian Wine Companion 2017
67% Gingin clones from Margaret River, 33% Dijon clones from Denmark, hand-picked, whole bunch-pressed, wild-fermented, 41% in tank, 59% in French oak (14% new), matured on lees for 10 months. Yes, it?s very complicated, something borrowed, something blue; I'd also add very long and very cool, lip smacking stuff, a bargain at its price. The fruit flavours run through stone fruit, melon and citrus, yet are pure. The same paradox emerges with the structure and texture, savoury yet not oaky per se.
