Description
"The Lenger Road vineyard sits at an elevation of 480m in the Mount Torrens region of the Adelaide Hills. The soils are sandy loam and clay over quartz and ironstone on a slight northerly aspect. Late ripening and low yielding the vineyard typically produces sweet, spicy and herbal fruit." - Winemaker Notes
"It’s dark fruit with aromatic purple skins, cherry lift, blackberry basket perfume, Chinese five spice, cloves pierced orange skin and a bag of wild mushrooms. Very comfortable medium weight with a lifted acidity cleansing finish, fine sandy tannins, black pepper tickling the throat. Persistence and effortless of flavour. A beauty." - 95 Points, Kasia Sobiesiak, The Wine Front
"While I can sense the dill pickle of the stems, there is such depth of fruit and long-limbed grape tannins that I have no doubt the verdancy will be absorbed in time. Cornas-like. Wild and woolly. Ferrous, bloody, olive pasted and laden with smoky, spiced meats. A very good wine in an embryonic phase. Put this away for five to eight years." - 95 Points, Ned Goodwin MW, Halliday Wine Companion
