- TASTING NOTE: "A 51/45/4% split, vinified separately in concrete fermenters, the grenache stays as whole bunches, the other two destemmed; pressed to 2800L oak casks, blended and bottled around the 10-month mark. I like this a lot – it’s savoury, yes, good fruit the foundation but all a stepping stone. Fuller bodied, shapely, grainy tannins and juicy acidity ensure this is a bit of rock ‘n’ roll." 95 Points - Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion
- ABOUT THE WINE: A blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mataro from our Hazel’s Vineyard. Each parcel was harvested and vinified separately in vertical, open-top stone fermenters without temperature control. Grenache underwent fermentation with 50% whole clusters, while Syrah and Mataro were destemmed but left as whole berries. The fruit spent 8–14 days on skins before being gently pressed directly into large-format oak casks and small concrete vessels for malolactic fermentation in our underground cellar. The wines were racked in early spring and blended in February 2023.
