2023 is the third in a series of cool years in the Hilltops region. You can taste the freshness and complexity the cooler season has brought to the wine. There is plenty of dark berry fruit here along with red fruit and floral notes which bring lift and intrigue to the perfume. Drink now or cellar with confidence for ten years.
"A bit of a chameleon as it first appears spicy and herbal with sweet-sour flavours, then it changes to gutsy and flavoursome with a little meaty reduction. Still finding its way perhaps. It’s inky, with wafts of bitumen and pepper, flavours of kirsch, dark plums and cedary oak. Fuller bodied and fleshy with plentiful tannins; there’s a certain refinement, too, with fine acidity in tow." 93 Points - Jane Faulkner, Halliday's Wine Companion, October 2024
