"We say it every year, this has to be one of the most beautiful vineyards in the Adelaide Hills. It's close-planted and has been unirrigated for over 20 years. Low rainfall and cool ripening has resulted in a savoury wine with power and perfume. A combination of 100%whole cluster and 50% whole cluster open top fermentation, eight months in French oak barriques, 35% new." - Gareth & Rainbo
