Vintage Notes
A near-perfect Hills vintage for 2022 with excellent rainfall in Spring and any summer showers dispersed by subsequent mild breezes. The winds prevented any disease pressure and the mild Spring provided good conditions for flowering early. Cooler temperatures prevailed throughout and as yield was above average, increased wire-lifting and leaf-plucking were implemented, exposing the fruit zone to enhance ripening.
From veraison through to harvest, the vineyard experienced below average, yet relatively dry temps, ensuring a very long ripening period resulting in exceptionally complex fruit flavour. Slow, even sugar development and excellent acid retention were welcome outcomes for the fruit and total harvest was completed on 28 April.
Vineyard & Winemaking Notes – All fruit is hand-picked. Both varietals were de-stemmed and crushed before a cool, open co-ferment for 14 days.
Maturation occurs in French Oak Hogsheads – 3rd and 4th use – and bottled within 10 months.
Awards/Reviews
Royal Hobart Wine Show 2023 – Top Gold
New Zealand International Wine Show 2023 – Double Gold
James Suckling – Ned Goodwin MW – A slurpy, fragrant, medium-bodied red with ample fruit, soft tannins and perky freshness. Violet, menthol, anise, tapenade and blue fruit persuasions. The blend works well. The shiraz, the jelly in the doughnut. I’d drink this young and briskly chilled. Drink now. Screw cap. – 91 Points
2024 Winewise Championship – Silver
