Tasting note
I'm surprised the back label wastes space for the profoundly meaningless 'a respect for both modern and traditional wine growing techniques'. 20% wild yeast, and 2 months on yeast lees is every bit as modern as traditional. It is a very attractive wine, even-tempered, long and stylish, with no flourishes. Drink to 2016. Score - 94. (James Halliday, winecompanion.com.au, Sept. 18, 2015)
This dry, medium-bodied and fruity red displays a complex and intense nose. On the palate, its lively acidity, fleshy tannins, and broad texture precede a long finish.
