Yonder Hill Nicola 2010

This is a big and serious wine, yet very soft, with juicy rounded tannins. It has herbaceous notes, and ripe blackcurrant fruit. Complex structure, where everything from the fruit to tannins and acidity is perfectly balanced. A classic.

AWARDS

Platter 2016 - 4 Stars

ageing : 

6-8 years
in the vineyard : 

Vineyards are 20 years old and planted on the northern slopes of the farm. The vines are trained onto a five-wire trellis system to maximise exposure to the sunlight and sea breeze. The use of minimal handling and insecticides shows our approach towards enviro-friendly farming methods.

Deep fertile Oak leaf and Clovelly soil. The 20 to 30 cm of decomposed granite becomes a good mixture of sand to sand-lime-clay soil medium. It is then followed by 50 to 60 cm of wet zone.
in the cellar : 

Only the 5 best barrels where used to blend this wine, and only 1000 bottles was produced for this second vintage.
