"With 50% fruit from Lenswood and 50% from Piccadilly, the Phaeton has layers of complexity. With a dense core of fruit and beautiful aromatic fragrance the Phaeton is still delicate and pure with cherries and forest floor berries, subtle spice, and a touch of warm earthiness. It perfectly showcases the delicate characters of Pinot Noir from the Lenswood and Piccadilly sub-regions." - Winemaker Notes
Description / Reviews
"Lifted and perfumed aromas of wild raspberries, orange peel and potpourri. The palate is medium-bodied with firmly integrated tannins, focused acidity and notes of red currants, cassia bark and graphite. Very pure and fresh. Drink or hold." - 95 Points, James Suckling
"Predominantly estate fruit off their Lenswood vineyard and aged in 40% new French oak. This is all rose and violet with the prettiest warming cinnamon quill spice and aromas of new forest undergrowth. Nature, bottled. A burst of red cherry and pomegranate juiciness through the middle makes for a welcome accompaniment to the enjoyable chewy tannin structure. I like this wine. Time will help all the elements unite." - 94 Points, Katrina Butler, Halliday Wine Companion
