It’s from the Willowlake vineyard in the Upper Yarra and it’s in a beautiful drinking place. It has flesh and flavour, excellent thrust and the length to match. Chalk, honeysuckle and loads of stone fruit. The press release suggests barbecued scallops as an accompaniment; it sounds terrific. Lovely wine.

Straw-yellow in colour, it weaves white peach, grapefruit, matchstick and woodsmoke characters together into a restrained, complex whole. It’s rather austere, with a dry palate of appealing chalky savouriness, yet its intensity and presence is such that a bottle is empty before you realise it.
