WINE NOTES
Selected parcels of wine were sourced from the cool Strathbogie Ranges region in Central Victoria and matured in French oak prior to bottling. The wine exhibits complex yeast lees time and soft barrel fermentation complexities. 2008 was another warm, drought year for the Victorian highlands, therefore the fruit was harvested late for optimum ripeness.
