The palate is succulent, juicy and Pinot-like in its profile while the finish is savoury and moreish.

Reviews/Accolades

A variety of vinification techniques are used with the various wines blended
closer to bottling. The Blewitt Springs portion is wild fermented, 30%
whole bunches in a layered ferment in a concrete egg. No mechanical
extraction was used. The Clarendon portion was wild fermented using early
hand-picked fruit. 25% whole bunches, gentle hand plunging twice daily,
extended tine on skins. Pressed to older oak. Riverland portion was whole
berry fermented to retain freshness and bright fruit character. Gently
extracted and pressed to older oak. 10% of wine spends 5 months in older
French oak.
