Ray Jordan’s review
Fruit comes from a number of different sites across Margaret River, with the aim of creating a wine of complexity and balance while retaining elegance. After handpicking, it was whole bunch pressed into a mix of new and one- and two-year-old barriques for wild fermentation. A further 10 months in oak has built deep complexity on the palate. Cashew, crunchy honeycomb and nectarine provide a compelling combination. It is textured but retains a fine chalky acidity to define a most impressive wine.
