“Spicy, warming, soft and come-hither in style. Dark cherry, a bit of truffle, some sooty spice and dried green herbs. Nice, hazy texture, a bit of moody, savoury depth and a whip clean and blood orange-y finish. Pleasing, easy, pure feeling thing. Nice.”

“Cherry, blackberry and fennel tips, brambly, grippy drying tannins, raspberry acidity. This one is elegant and proper like. We really really like the vines, people and ultimately the flavour. In saying that we changed the winemaking in 2022. There is a reason/intention. Stay tuned.
75% de stemmed over 25% whole-bunch fermented on skins for 13 days, gentle cap wetting. Pressed to various sized old french oak. Racked glen off lees twice to retain fruit purity. Wine blended and bottled early spring. Owner Greg and Winemaker/Viticultualist Dillon are extremely excellent in their intention, application and communication. MV6 clone seems to exist and thrive on this site. Planted 1988 and 1998.
400 metres above sea level, East facing and cool nights. Clay soils, quartz and schist.”
