Whilst the 2011 release is certainly more delicate (lighter in colour, weight and alcohol) than the previous vintage, the wine still displays those lovely aromas (an almost Chambolle-Musigny like fragrance) and flavours of wild strawberry, undergrowth, vanilla pod and liquorice root together with fresh acidity and firm yet fine tannins - A style that would come into its own as a food match option (more delicate meat, poultry and fish dishes) rather than a standalone drink. Those looking for more powerful expressions of the variety should consider Martinborough, Central Otago or Waipara from NZ or examples from the outstanding 2010 Yarra Valley vintage.

When this earned a Gold in our weekly wine panel session we were sceptical. Quality at this price is almost unheard of. We have tasted it on two occasions since, each delivering Gold. A rare gem. Fragrant and fine.
