Description

This project from the granite soils in the northern end of the Macedon Ranges at 460m
above sea level is an exciting addition to our activities. The vineyard was established in
1995 and the fruit has ostensibly been “lost” interstate until new Victorian owners took over
in spring 2021. The new regime has quickly invested in the infrastructure and fine-tuned
activities and now several top producers are sourcing fruit from this excellent site. The
Riesling was harvested in late March and wild yeast fermented in old French oak and
matured for six months on fine yeast lees. In the winemaking mind it was important to
preserve/respect the vibrancy of the fruit but to also seek further subtle depth of complexity,
palate texture and flow. Not too fruity, not too savoury. The nose is complex with musk,
blossom, talc, lime and savouriness from lees ageing. The palate is medium weight, fresh,
textured, dry and balanced. It’s very delicious now and will gain poise and flow over the next
half dozen years.
