Tasting notes from the producer:

This wine presents a multifaceted and intricate character, blending sweetness and savory elements seamlessly. Its aroma is a delightful fusion of violets, plums, savory spices, and hints of bramble and five spice. With a moderate weight, it showcases a medley of summer pudding fruits in vibrant hues, elevating the flavor profile. Notes of cigar box and cardamom spice add an intriguing depth. The firm yet refined tannins provide excellent structural support, while the texture drives the palate forward. This wine defies categorization, offering a wealth of attributes to appreciate.

The fruit was carefully hand-picked, then sorted and destemmed on a sorting table before being gently transferred to the Yarra Yering half-tonne open fermenters. To preserve aromatic qualities, as many whole berries as possible were retained. In select fermenters, frozen Viognier skins were introduced at the bottom. Following fermentation, the wine matured for 15 months in French oak barriques, with 30% new oak, before undergoing blending and bottling.
