The 2022 vintage saw one of the earliest harvests on record, beginning 24 March, with early summer rain kicking off exceptional Botrytis development throughout the vineyard. An explosion of honey, tropical fruits, cumquats, and candied orange peel on the nose, with scents of vanillin and a whisper of spice; a succulent display of rich Botrytis fruit with neatly balanced sweetness and acidity on the palate. Matured in 30% new French oak barriques, 60% one and two-year-old barriques, and 10% tank for freshness. 96 Points, Halliday Wine Companion. Six Trophies. Nine Gold Medals. A wine with a very long future — and definitely the vintage to collect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeep, luminous gold — the rich, inviting colour of a Riverina Botrytis Semillon from one of the earliest harvests on record, with the depth and intensity that exceptional Botrytis development and careful French oak maturation deliver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAroma\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn explosion of honey, tropical fruits, cumquats, and candied orange peel, with scents of vanillin and a whisper of spice — marigold flowers, honeysuckle, loquat fruit, golden-hued plums, and pineapple turnover, with shortbread and baked madeleine biscuits from the new oak singing behind the ripe fruit.

Marigold flowers, honeysuckle and loquat fruit. Golden-hued plums and pineapple turnover. There is a shortbread and baked madeleine biscuits thanks to the use of new oak but it sings a chorus behind the ripe fruit, which sits in front. Acidity is long and stretched at the seams which makes for a succulence. A very elegant wine with the power to take its avid drinkers into the far reaches of pleasure.
