Sourced from the dramatic southern reaches of the Huon Valley, this singular expression captures the pristine tension and cool-climate energy of the 2023 vintage.

The wine opens with an enthralling, complex profile defined by striking reductive notes of struck flint and gunpowder layered over wild dark berries, potpourri, orange peel, and damp forest floor.

On the palate, it exhibits exceptional detail and spaciousness, balancing a creamy, supple texture with a taut, mineral-driven framework.

Supple impressions of dark cherry, raspberry, and blood plum intermingle with subtle whole-bunch nuances of dried herbs, charcuterie, and savory spice, leading to an exceptionally long, ocean-breeze finish. As praised by James Suckling, it is "[a] reduced and complex wine to be taken seriously after decanting."
