The Coolart Road Vineyard is the newest Single Vineyard site having been planted in 2000 in the Moorooduc / Teurong sub-region. This is quite different to the other single vineyard releases with fruit rather than savoury structure the defining character.
The nose has generous morello cherry that is given a spicy french oak lift and a touch of earth. The palate shows a fine line of acidity with drying but bright tannins that give a tartness to red cherry, raspberry and rhubarb fruit, oak is a background element that gives texture on the mid to back palate, a return of morello cherry frames the finish.
This wine is certainly approachable now, but the tannin and acid structure suggests that time will also be kind.
