Winemaker: Andrew Bretherton
2026 Wine Show of Western Australia | Gold Medal - 95 Pts
It's fresh and powerful, long and salty.... good flow and balance, good fruit concentration, roasted cashews fine and powerful fruit layers of minerality and flavour.
“Planted: 1984 (Gingin), 1973 (Clone 95), 1999 (Gingin). 62% Gingin 38% clone 95. 2127 bottles produced. Lime, nashi pear, Indian lime pickle, fennel and lemon myrtle, cedar, spice, some struck match. It’s a tight and flinty wine, quite savoury with a bit of a yeasty and sour yoghourt edge, grapefruit and lime, ginger and spice carries on a zesty finish of excellent length. No shortage of energy here – it’s mouth-watering and crunchy. On the cusp of ripeness in a
way, though it carries it off. Needs a little more time in bottle, but it’s a very good and interesting wine.” 95 Pts
