- Vintage Notes
Sourced from the alluvial sandy loam soils over light clay of Palmers Lane. 2018 was the second consecutive classic vintage in the Hunter Valley. A vintage typified by warm to hot and dry conditions, most white varieties were harvested by January prior to some record heat days in February. With little threat of rainfall, our Shiraz, Semillon and Chardonnay were harvested with the intent of expressing vineyard rather than vintage characteristics, resulting in energetic reds with a vitality that will last for a decade.
- Tasting Notes
Lifted aromas of beeswax, preserved lemon and light honey, layered with toast and lanolin. The palate is textured yet precise, with fine acidity driving flavours of citrus and brioche, finishing long and seamless.
