Description / Reviews
"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.
For wine nerds like me: Hand picked on the 11th April, 100% whole bunch wild fermented, pressed to French oak and matured for 20 months in barrel." - Michael Hall, Winemaker
"Wild fermented with 85% whole bunches in the mix. Only 5% new oak used. This is beautiful. It sits high and glossy in the palate with evocative scents of red cherry, green herbs, white pepper, faint game meat, lavender and violets. There's a strong sense of purity to the wine, slinky tannins, succulence, a refreshment factor and a distinct poise. Seamless flow. Purity. Elegance. This is damn sensational. And at the vanguard of Australian syrah, née shiraz. Just sensational. Phenomenal drinking." - 96 Points, Mike Bennie, Halliday Wine Companion
"Youthful and bright red in the glass. There's funk and lift here, with fragrant, bunchy aromas, along with blueberry, Asian spice, white pepper, Campari and dark cherry. The palate is fresh, mid-weighted, bright and perky, with lashings of blue fruits, a woodsy earthiness, spanky acidity and firm, granular tannins. Lovely length and presence." - 95 Points, Aaron Brasher, The Real Review
