SIGNATURE & SINGLE VINEYARD RELEASES
OLD VINE CUVÉE 2022
Glass-staining deep purple, the aromatics are strikingly redolent of the Australian landscape, scrub and wild herb, sunbaked red earth, cocoa, pepper and spice complexity engulf dark, perfectly ripened blackberry and cassis fruit. Violet floral top notes lend a sense of airiness to the otherwise saturated aromas.
DASH FARMS CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2022
Deep, inky purple with intense violet, seaweed and cassis, and graphite, sweet herb and spice attest to the cool nature of the site.
Only medium-weight though remarkably intense, it presents as the most “Claret” style of the
three Cabernet Sauvignon cuvées, full of small dark berry fruit with fine gravelly tannins.
SHAY'S FLAT CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2022
Deep, dark purple. Reticent on opening, aeration shows intense sour cherry and cassis, mulberry, lavender and black olive with a sweet mint top note and alluring graphite complexity.
A compact and palate opens with time to reveal deep dark berry and cherry fruit, before a rumble of fine- layered tannin and cleansing acidity with a persistent trial of graphite, dark cocoa and Dutch liquorice.
BALGOWNIE VINEYARD 1970s BLOCK 2022
Deep, dark garnet. A wine which immediately makes one sit up and focus. Incredibly refined and complex with iron, sweet cassis, cedar spice, violet and rose, air reveals infinite nuance and detail.
The palate is flooded with wave upon wave of Cabernet fruit, braced by a strict but not overbearing tannic structure, finishing with sweet violet and cassis.
REDBANK 1970s VINES
2022
Impenetrable garnet. Subtle and restrained, though incredibly distinctive. Redbank slowly reveals layer after layer - cassis, new leather, warm terracotta, fig and blood plum. The most elegant of Black Holes of aroma and flavour.
Fine and layered tannin coats the mouth, carrying inky, ferrous complexity and blood plum fruit. Redbank eloquently evokes the iron rich red loams, shale and wild scrub of this part of the Pyrenees.
GREYTOWN OLD VINES 2022
Glistening purple, the two varieties combine wonderfully lending the pepper, spice and plushness of Syrahs fruit, with the strictness and refinement of Cabernet Sauvignon.
Aromas of cracked black pepper, sweet new leather, baking spices, lavender, thyme, and a sprig of mint fill the glass. Australian garrigue. Sweet and fleshy black cherry fruits are ensconced in layers of fine pliant tannin, with the firm backbone and sense of freshness and refinement only Cabernet Sauvignon can bring.
A wine entirely unique to its place and landscape, old vines, co-planted with great foresight in a cooler pocket of the region.
FLYNN & COOPER - WILLIAMS VINEYARD 2022
Vivid purple. Initially reticent until time and aeration reveal perfectly ripened blackcurrant and blood plum fruits, sweet baking spices and cedar, the faintest hint of mint combined with a ferrous complexity.
Refined, firm grainy tannin shapes the wine elegantly, drawing to a finish of superb length and clarity.
