Vintage 2021 was an exemplary year with fine wines and good yields. Growing season rainfall was marginally below average and temperatures were mild ensuring vine canopies remained healthy. Vintage weather was absolutely perfect throughout, with dry mild-warm days and cool nights ensuring even and steady ripening across all varieties. There is strong colour and flavour across all the reds along with excellent structure and balance whilst the whites are bright, fresh and elegant.
The aroma is bright with vintage grapes, cola, dark chocolate, violets, sweet clove and Christmas cake with brandy sauce.
These beautiful fruit characters continue to the immense palate. Rich, full-bodied, full-flavoured and exquisitely balanced. Upfront plushness of generous dark fruits lead to a muscular structure and then refreshing grippy tannins to take the wine to a very long and pleasantly dry finish. This is an audacious wine that can be enjoyed now in its early splendour or equally cellared for a decade or two.
