Beechworth, Victoria

Fruit sourced from two vineyards, both planted in the ‘90s with classic Ordovician soils - a mixture of mudstone, shale, and granite. Handpicked, basket-pressed and fermented on lees. Fermented and aged in a combination of large-format oak (foudre) and barrique, some new. The structure and integrity of the fruit is intense. The generosity and depth of flavour an indication of a warmer growing season than the previous few.
