Description
Block 6 vineyard faces East and rows run North South with significant undulation. Vines are spur and cane pruned with the canes wrapped onto the top wire of the low-lying trellis. The present 1.5 hectares comprises a corner of red loam, some heavy clay in the middle of the block and gravelly alluvial soils on the lower side. The underlying “South Maslin Sands” geology is extremely complex, containing layers of glauconite, limestone, sandstone and siltstone. Colours of deep ruby, purple hue. Perfumed notes of pot pourri, dark fruits, charcuterie and a hint of cedar. On the palate, layers of concentrated dark cherries, cacao and black olive, followed by slowly building, fine-textured, chalky tannins of immense length. Rich and concentrated with power and finesse." - Winemaker Notes
