About the Wine

Planted in 1974 (48 year old when harvested). Dry land bush vine on weathered Malmesbury shale.  Extended ageing on the fine lees for extra texture and mouthfeel, with regular batonage.  The total maturation period in these older barrels took place over a period of 11 months.

Layered and perfumed aromas of stone fruits, white pear and ripe orange citrus, with subtle hints of oak spice.  The palate is beautifully textured and creamy, with ripe tropical fruit flavours persisting on the lengthy finish.  An elegant wine, displaying the complexity of the vines' age.
