WINE NOTES
Produced in an easy drinking style this wine is entirely from estate grown fruit in Victoria. The 2007 vintage was an extremely warm year with drought conditions concentrating the grape harvest and production. To add a level of complexity to the final blend, a portion of the wine was aged with premium French Oak.
