Drink: 2021–2032

all showing very good fruit concentration and balance

its amalgam of cassis and bay leaf is held within a fine web of ripe tannins

if you prefer primary fruit aromas and flavours then drink the wine young

greenish-yellow colour

fine tannin and acidity provides great drinking and promise over the medium-term

Each block features unique high-density narrow rows on rocky soil that slope down to the Willyabrup Brook and are orientated to the west and north

Colour is very pale gold
