MUSEUM RELEASE - 24 BOTTLES AVAILABLE
 
A small (and still the only) cuvée composed solely of the pressings fraction of the beloved Balgownie Vineyard. Inspired by the cult Pressings wine of Wendouree, it was a total make of 50 dozen. This wine was first offered to VIP trade customers in 2022 and a handful of bottles were reserved for museum release.
 
We’ve drunk a few bottles over the last few months and it is in a wonderful place, beginning to soften and develop some classic cigar box complexity, while it will still have a long life ahead.
 
"This is fantastic. So inky and dense but lifted so brightly on fine, minerally tannins, light dusting of pepper, frisky inclusion of dried, brambly herbs. That mesh of concentrated, dark berry and black olive fruit with those humming, succulent tannins is just unreal. 
This is superb. A feast." - 94 Points

"Blackberry, spice, some black pepper, a little cedar. Rich and ferrous, wonderful spread of dense tannin, so earthy, and yet light too, yet deep, quietly saline, with tannin to close. Bitter dark chocolate. 95+, maybe even 96." 
- Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
