This project now goes back over two decades, to 2001. The seasonal stamp is always there, these are not formulaic wines scrubbed and rubbed into an overriding house style, for the harvest date and winemaking is focused on ensuring a balanced wine that shows the markings of the year. (As James Halliday says, a Pinot Noir winemaker’s Shiraz!). The 2022 is a delicious and harmonious continuation of the style showing complex red and dark fruits, spice and graphite. The delicious palate is initially fresh and harmonious then builds intensity for a long and balanced finish. It will become more complex and textured over the next six years.
