  • TASTING NOTE: "Evocative and lifted aromas of grapefruit pith, grilled nuts, struck match, just-ripe white stone fruit, melon skin and nougat. Complex, layered, textured and mouth-filing, with super balance between fruit, oak and acidity. Lashings of citrus, stone fruit and melon are all at play. The palate has a seamlessness to it, with just the right touch of phenolics and zippy acidity." 96 Points - Aaron Brasher, The Real Review
  • ABOUT THE WINE:  "Our most unique small vineyard sections where the Gingin clone on specific aspect and soil interplay in such a way to ignite very special varietal and wild yeast influence. A similar harvest time to the reasonably late 2021 vintage due to cool spring conditions, fortuitously a warm January saw ripening accelerate with ideal sugar and flavour ripeness. With high natural acidity, natural MLF was allowed to complete. Delicate, tightly held flavours has resulted in beautiful restraint and balance. Hand-harvested, whole-bunches were pressed and transferred direct to barrel as unclarified juice. Only natural yeasts from the vineyard fermented the wine which was nurtured in our cellar for 15 months, 8 of which were in oak with some lees stirring, before 7 months in tank on full lees. 100% Gingin clone and true to Heytesbury perfume and structure. A savoury, delicate and beautifully structured, complex wine in a delayed, yet moderately warm harvest year." Virginia Willcock, winemaker
