WINE NOTES
This wine was primarily made with fruit grown in the maritime coastal region of Geelong (60%), where a warm and dry growing season led to extreme ripeness of the grapes. The remaining 40 percent of the blend came from Victoria’s high country, near the Victorian Alps, where a cooler climate creates a leaner, more structured wine with zesty acidity, which perfectly complements the riper characters of the Geelong wine in the unique final blend.
