Description

This is a very sentimental wine from our most elevated vineyard that pays tribute to my
mother, Kaye. It’s a vineyard with a grand perspective over the other vineyards, the winery,
house and to the forests and hills beyond. There are some lovely metaphors, no doubt. The
site has a lot of quartz and mudstone, a smattering of volcanic soils that have eroded down
from the volcanic plateau above, and produces a wine of fragrance, structure and
complexity. The 2024 Kaye is showing depth and power at this early stage. The nose has
red fruits, potpourri, ginger and earth. The palate is intense, structured, full and drives very
long. It will evolve well for a decade.
