The Vineyard Series matches specific varieties and sites to give you outstanding examples of single vineyard wines.

Bright and vivacious in the glass, inviting aromas of Meyer lemon and gentle spice lead the charge. The nose is remarkably generous, layering crisp green apple, rockmelon, and white peach around a vibrant citrus core. Subtle baking spice and savoury undertones point to thoughtful oak and lees work, building a complex, layered aromatic profile. The palate is luscious yet focused. Baked lemon, melon, and sweet honeysuckle lead upfront before a surge of taut citrus takes hold, driving the length and leaving the mouth watering. Tight, racy, and framed by a subtle lick of char that adds shade to the vibrant fruit, it delivers a thoroughly compelling ride from start to finish.

This wine was sourced from the north facing Willowlake Vineyard, sited in the red volcanic soils of Gladysdale.

A traditional winemaking approach was used to produce this wine: handpicking and whole bunch pressing directly into 500 litre French oak puncheons for a natural fermentation followed by 16 months maturing on lees.

A vintage defined by warm, dry conditions, healthy crops and harvesting in late summer/early autumn. The resulting wines have great intensity of flavour and vibrant, balanced acidities.
