This wine is named after the noted Mount Ida vineyard. I suspect that it actually comes from the Mount Ida vineyard and that it is a single vineyard wine this time around, though it’s not 100% clear. It all goes into French oak, 40% new. The Mount Ida vineyard itself was planted in 1975, which makes it of historical significance to the Heathcote wine region. In any case this is a very good release. It’s firm and bold but it’s mannered and fresh. Clove, mint, black cherry, cedarwood and coffee-cream characters present a united front of flavour. I’m tempted to call it frisky, such is its freshness, but it’s just a little more settled than that. Sweet, citrussy acidity rushes throughout, in a positive way. It’s a fine wine.

From one of the oldest vineyards in Heathcote. Small batch vinification, including extended maceration on skins and maturation in new and used French barriques. A delicious wine with great mouthfeel and balance. Blackberry and raspberry fruits are gently held in the embrace of fine tannins and quality French oak.
