Another challenging yet rewarding vintage for the premium, southern grape growing regions of Western Australia. Winter rainfall was close to the long term average. The growing and ripening seasons, while largely warm and dry were punctuated with rains and windy conditions that did affect set and subsequent yields in Pinot Noir. Warm, dry weather in late summer and early autumn delivered even ripening for the April harvest of Pinot. The mild end to the season saw all varieties ripen perfectly with high natural acidity and fine fruit structure and silky tannins.

Warm, opulent and filled with aromas of sautéed wild sweet cherry, freshly baked fruit muffins and underlying earth, star anise and charry notes.

Abundant sweet red fruits, savoury mushroom and spice with a hint of sappyness from the inclusion of a small percentage of stalks in the fermentation The ample fine fruit tannins provide structure to the rich fruit weight and a distinct mineral acidity deftly finishes the wine.

Deep garnet.

Duck confit with puy lentils, creamy bleu St.Augur.
