The Wine:
The Lenger Road vineyard sits at an elevation of 480m in the Mount Torrens region of the Adelaide Hills. The soils are sandy loam and clay over quartz and ironstone on a slight northerly aspect. Late ripening and low yielding the vineyard typically produces sweet, spicy and herbal fruit.
Hand picked on the 9th April, 85% whole bunch wild fermented, pressed to French oak and matured for 20 months in barrel (31% new, Saury).
The Review:
Kasia Sobiesiak, The Wine Front - 95pts
"It’s dark fruit with aromatic purple skins, cherry lift, blackberry basket perfume, Chinese five spice, cloves pierced orange skin and a bag of wild mushrooms. Very comfortable medium weight with a lifted acidity cleansing finish, fine sandy tannins, black pepper tickling the throat. Persistence and effortless of flavour. A beauty."
