TASTING NOTES

The 2020 vintage in the Yarra Valley faced cooler temperatures, significant rainfall, floods, and hail damage, reducing our volume by 50%. Despite these challenges, the wine boasts a unique blend of red currant, raspberry, and black cherry flavours, with hints of herbal notes. Fresher fruit characteristics, along with balanced and elegant softer tannin, make this a wine to enjoy all by itself. Pairs nicely with pasta, lamb, duck
