THE WINE
“Unoaked. Vineyard planted in early 70’s. Slight chill. Afternoons, leading into
sunsets…” - Tim Smith

VINTAGE CONDITIONS
Vintage 2022 kicked off with average to above average rainfall during winter
through to November giving way to a very dry December with a large rain event
in February freshening up the vines leading into harvest.
Yields from the vineyard was low but the fruit showed excellent intensity with
acid levels holding in the grapes for a prolonged period providing near perfect
ripening conditions. Winemakers are talking about vintage ‘22 wines as elegant
and structured, with depth and length of flavour.
