Sample
A single vineyard wine produced from The Strathmore vineyard in Geelong. Initially a touch reductive with dark cherry and plum fruit supported by clay, rhubarb and finely nuanced spice from French Oak.

A medium to full bodied Pinot with a concentrated baseline of black fruits that have plenty of earthen flare and a taut and almost grippy texture that is the counterpoint to the wines fuller notes.

The finish is dripping with sappy rhubarb, undergrowth and layers of spice with impressive length.
