Sample
The wine is produced from an exceptionally cool site that is perched at 750m above sea level on the Northern slope of Mount Macedon. It is Burgundian in its stylings with savoury whole bunch influence, whilst maintaining purity of fruit and subtle impact of oak.

The nose has undergrowth and earthen tones that are lifted by floral red cherry and fine spice. The palate is refined yet expansive with a subtle build of texture and the impact of fruit and winemaker derived artefact making itself known. The finish is a beautiful meld of vanillin spice, pristine cherry fruit and damp earth.
Only 100 cases made, find it if you can; somewhat of a revelation in my mind.
