Made from 100% estate grown Pinot Noir. Forward strawberry, cherry and earthy notes with a hint of spice precede a crisp, moderately fruity but fresh palate of strawberry and watermelon, with good acidity and a touch of spice and some minerality.
Lifted bright cherry, strawberry and citrus followed by a fruit-driven, vibrant and off-dry fruity entry with cranberry and cherry through a generous palate with good mouthfeel and a fruity finish.
This blend of Sauvignon Blanc (94%) and Semillon (6%) is aged in French oak for 9 months. What a gorgeous wine with an expressive nose of apple blossoms, beeswax, pear with subtle herbs, spice and flinty minerality. It’s rich and textured on the palate with a range of flavours including pear, bin apple, grapefruit, herbs, spice and minerals that remain gorgeously fresh through the finish.
The Carly’s Block is from vines planted in 1976 and shows super-charged lime, grapefruit, river-rock minerality and on-point apple slices on the nose. It’s rich, seductive, round and honeyed with layers of lime/citrus, apple, swirling minerality and showing beautifully right now.
This is a gorgeous and complex Chardonnay from winemaker Richie Roberts. The nose is tight right now but promises a more open knit nose of poached pear, vanilla cream, citrus accents and a range of elegant spice notes. It’s creamy and rich on the palate with flavours of pear, apple and swirling oak spices to go with a clean, freshening finish that’s already nicely balanced.
From the estate’s vineyards on the Golden Mile Bench, the nose begins with elegant spice notes on top of pear, minerals, salinity, citrus and a gorgeous vanilla/cinnamon toast note on the back end. It shows lovely pear/apple/quince flavours on the entry of the palate with citrus and spice accents that are nicely integrated and woven into the foundation of this terroir-driven and finessed Chardonnay.
The nose completely flatters in this non-oaked Chardonnay: banana, jasmine, yellow apple and cream. Medium body, round texture and ready to drink.
