Winemakers Pitch

"After berry sorting and cold soak fermentation in open and closed fermenters with pumping over three times daily, mlf in barrel plus 9 months maturation, further barrel selections in French barriques with rackings timed by a lunar calendar. The taming of the tannin is complete, the cabernet varietal character clear cut." 93 points James Halliday, 2021 Halliday Wine Companion

"Fragrant and juicy berry fruit, with fine tannins and savoury oak adding depth and texture. The vibrancy makes this a great drink now, but it will also take short term cellaring." 17.8/20 Barry Weinman, finewineclub.com.au, September 2020
