A brilliance and sweetness of fruit on the nose with cherries and lightly dried strawberries. Orange peel undertones. Medium- to full-bodied, with a tightness and firmness in texture from the linear tannins that hold the wine tight and focused. Very pretty already but needs a few years to fully come together.

These are special wines for me. My parents' property is a couple of kilometres up the road and I spent many hours walking rows, buggering around in soil pits and having long lunches with original owners Mike and Claudia Weersing as they established their beautiful property. The wines are world class. Wonderfully spiced, plush plum and blue fruits, cascading fine tannins and a defined calcareous cadence born of an outstanding terroir, finishing long, savoury and true.
