Acclaim
“Aromas of lime and green melon show clearly. Full-bodied and minerally with a slate undertone to the palate. Turns dry and complex at the end with gunpowder and slate-lined fruit. From organically grown grapes.” — James Suckling, Nov 2023

Wine Production

Same in the vineyard, this wine was hand crafted using traditional methods and bottled early to ensure all the integrity and vitality of the wine was preserved. All this really means is that we feel a drier and more textural wine style is both possible and appropriate.

About the Vineyard

Small production and organically farmed and produced. The soils in this block are well draining schist loam and the vines tend to thrive. Additionally the typically extreme summer diurnal temperatures experienced in Alexandra are responsible for both metabolizing (softening) acidity during the day and then bright freshness is retained from the significantly cooler nights.
