The Wine:
A blend of fruit from the Matthews vineyard in Berrys Creeks and Guendulain Farm in Yarragon. Matthews was planted to MV6 on red volcanic soil in 1998 and has always been dry grown. It is a cool, damp site and the vines grow dense, lush canopies. The vines at Guendulain were planted in Baw Baw Shire in 2008 at 10,000 vines per hectare, half MV6 and half Pommard clone. The wine smells of blood plum, blackberry and blackcurrant as well as violets, liquorice, cinnamon and stone fruits. The palate is long, fine and layered with bright acidity. It is a complex, savoury wine that will benefit from some time in bottle.
