Screwcap

It's a real treat to be able to taste Australia's most famous single-vineyard wine, whose oldest contributing patch, the 0.56ha Grandfathers block, was planted more than 160 years ago. And even more of a treat to taste it when it is just entering it's first phase of tertiary maturity. At 20 years since vintage, the impact of the old vines on both flavour and texture is really becoming evident. Earthy, stony freshness and beautifully expressive – intense but elegant – where sleek satiny tannins glide across a seemingly endless array of flavours: mulled wine spices, undergrowth, plums, blood orange, wild raspberries, exotic incense, smoked meat, burnished leather and pot pourri. Has many years left, though at a lovely drinking point now.
