Sourced from the Peirce Family vineyard in Steels Creek at the base of the Kinglake range. It’s a warm site with hungry mudstone and shale soils with a granitic bedrock base and some scattered quartz. The vines are own rooted and planted in 1990 - so now 34 years old!

Tasting Notes

A very late pick and coupled with low yields has resulted in tiny quantities of this wine. It is a more delicate and pure rendition with almost a Pinot-esque charm to it. Bosting strikingly pure red fruits with alpine herbs, it's medium to light bodied and full of charm and finesse. The texture is just beautiful on the palate after spending almost 18 month on lees.
