Bright pale ruby. Delicate nose of red berries, pot pourri and wood smoke. Fresh and vibrant, medium-weight yet packed with flavour, showing as sour cherry, red plum and cranberry with hints of charcuterie, exotic spice and black tea. Varietal and velvety.
The 2018 growing season could well be described as dry and warm, and almost
perfect for growing premium wine grapes. The winter of 2017 started with a very
dry June and below average rains in July and August. Spring continued the theme
with less than half the average long term rainfall, and finished with an
unseasonably warm November. Although it remained warm, ripening didn’t
advance too much faster than harvesting, so the whites have clear varietal
definition and crisp fruit flavours, and the reds are bright and varietal, with
concentration and depth. It seems that the cooler nights kept a lid on sugar
accumulation so that ripening progression was close to perfect, something we
usually only see in cooler seasons. At this early stage 2018 promises to be a very
good year.
