Tasting Notes
From the Hyde Park vineyard in Coldstream and matured in French barriques (30% new) for 15 months. A fabulous, almost opaque purple. Concentrated with ripe cassis fruit, a little fresh vanillin and some dark licorice in the background. As good, if not better than the '22, which is no mean feat in itself given the cooler year. Concentrated with balanced, chewy tannins, this has excellent potential. - 96 points - Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion
Vineyard Notes
This wine was sourced from the north-facing Hyde Park vineyard sited in the grey alluvial loams of Coldstream.
Winemaker's Notes
A traditional winemaking approach was used to produce this wine – fermentation on skins with twice dail y pump-overs for four weeks followed by a 15-month maturation in 225 litre French oak barrels (30% new).
Vintage Notes
A vintage defined by cool, wet conditions, low crops and harvesting late into autumn. The resulting wines have great depth of flavour and vibrant, balanced acidities.
