“Using biodynamic fruit from the Central Ranges of NSW, the egg really locks in the energy and very specific character of this vineyard, resulting in a wine that is fresh and varietal. There’s a certain purity and liveliness that you don’t get from wood; it’s zippy, with some weight to the mid palate and a delicate saline lift. A cooler, wet year in what is a usually warm, dry climate led to a pick that was a full 3 weeks later than usual and made for a welcome slower ripening period and you can certainly feel it in the wine.”
