Notes
'North-facing site at 240m elevation, on red volcanic soil at Wandi East, close planted in 1990 to P58 clone. Cropped 7.5t/ha. Hand harvested and sorted before whole-bunch pressing directly to 20% new French oak puncheons for natural fermentation. Matured on lees for 10 months post-ferment, followed by another 6 months in tank. Bottled after a single filtration. It might have a smidge more volume and ripeness compared with the exemplary 2017, but this is a very fine follow up. The same DNA. It's about harnessing the power. Expect citrus, flint and form. Length, precision and a mineral drive. The devil is in the details, according to winemaker Dave Bicknell. This wine is the embodiment – indeed the reward – of that.'97 Points Jane Faulkner - The Wine Companion
