vintage
2022 was a truly exceptional vintage in Margaret River. The season started beautifully with a wet spring and late flowering, followed by a warm and dry season, producing refined flavour, great elegance and real personality. A very sophisticated vintage for this wine.
winemaking
Fruit was sourced from across the Margaret River region for this delightfully complex yet eminently drinkable wine. Fermentation was carried out using wild yeast and the wine was left to mature on lees for six months in new and seasoned French oak imparting great texture and length.

Reviews
Stuart Knox, The Real Review 2023
Bright yellow with a touch of lime at the edges. White peach fruit and a touch of flinty reduction on the nose. Quite powerful in the classic Margaret River way but has ample fresh fruit and saline minerals to balance that. Acidity works in concert with a hint of phenolics to carry it long. A lot of bang for buck here.
