95 Points & Gold Medal - Yarra Valley Wine Show 2022

Natural fermentation with 20% whole bunches, matured in older French oak. A super-bright crimson purple. Fully deserving of its Gold Medal at the 2022 Yarra Valley Wine Show, this opens with aromas of blackcurrant pastilles, boysenberries, black pepper, floral notes and a little charcuterie. Just as good on the medium-bodied, youthful and very well-balanced palate, which finishes with gently chewy, very fine-grained tannins and a little spice.
