AWARDS

John Platter Awards - 4 stars

ageing : Although drinking superbly now, it will continue to develop further in the bottle over the next 5 to 10 years.

in the vineyard : Dedicated vineyard management coincided with the fortuitous development of Botrytis cinerea which results in a high natural sugar and concentrated natural acid levels.

in the cellar : The grapes were lightly crushed and the juice allowed to settle on the lees for 2 days. The juice was then decanted into mainly new French barrels to undergo fermentation. The wine matured for 25 months before a very light fining, filtration and bottling.
