95 / 100"This is gorgeously styled and expressed on the nose with dark cherry, tapenade, spicy oak and rich floral aromas. The palate is equally satisfying with excellent focus and drive, wonderfully complemented by refined texture and beautifully infused tannins. At its best: now to 2030."

"There's a wild strawberry sheen to the red cherry and raspberry notes that lie below. Cut with notes of exotic spice, apple skin, pomegranate, char siu, cinnamon oak spice, shiitake and blossom. So nicely composed. Just a touch of sour cherry, fern grove and game on the palate, pure and endearing berry fruits, pillowy tannins and lacy acidity, finishing with amaro-flecked red and dark fruits and game. Drink by 2035."

Tasting Notes
The Estate label showcases unique blocks in various areas located around the property. Notably many of the blocks are located on the banks of Pittwater and the slopes of Riversdale Valley. A series that encompasses both old and new vines. Focus and attention are applied
to each block and vintage & handled individually in our state of the art winery before blending.
Fruit gets fermented in open top fermenters in individual parcels/blocks with terroir expressive yeast or natural fermentation where plausible. Pump overs only on the whole berry ferments/whole bunch to help tannin breakdown and maceration. each block is an individual pump over times adjusted accordingly. wine gets barrel down after fermentation and barrel matured for 9- 10months before bottling.
Aromas of violet, thyme, basil, red cherry and raspberry show the more herbal and earthy approach. Palate is tight with red and sour cherry and earthy notes.
