Small Batch Collection
From time to time we see small parcels of fruit that stand out in the vineyard or winery and this project gives us the opportunity to give these wines their own voice.
The wine displays summer florals, some green apple and citrus with a subtle sea spray (salty) character. The mouth feel is textural with a soft, salty minerality, some savoury tones and good natural acidity. This wine shows its best with food and is well suited to complement seafood dishes.
The colour is bright and pale gold, and the aromatics display characters of pear and apple. The palate is lively displaying lemon, stone fruits and a subtle almond nutty character. The finish is clean, with great acidity and a lingering fruit presence. We expect this wine will show its best after a few years aging in the bottle.
A tightly packed chardonnay displaying rich fruit flavours and a buttery character from malolactic fermentation. The wine shows a full mouthfeel derived from the lees work and a big French oak influence. The palate has length and drive towards the long finish, with broad intensity.
This wine displays bright and vibrant aromas of dark berries, plum and violet against a background of cedar and some graphite minerality. The fruit characters follow through on the palate with dark fruit, blackberry and a subtle savoury edge. A pleasing medium weight and textured mouthfeel lead to complex, dry tannins and a flavoursome soft finish.
A medium bodied mataro with earthy aromas, blueberry, plum and spice. These characters follow through on the palate with a medium weight and textured mouthfeel. Oak takes a back seat as the fine tannins lead to a long and flavoursome finish.
