Tasting Notes

Representing the remarkable potential of late-disgorged cool-climate blends, this Traditional Method cuvée shows the deep, oxidative tertiary maturity achievable in Tasmania’s pristine terroirs. Sourced from the estate's Lake Barrington Vineyard, the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir fruit spent a massive six years resting on its lees before a low 5g/L disgorgement dosage in July 2020.

Pouring a distinctive, deep brassy-yellow hue, the wine releases an evocative, autolytic bouquet layered with caramel, vanilla nougat, warm popcorn, and dried fig notes.

The palate texture is soft, ample, and incredibly generous, delivering secondary flavors of spiced fruit mince and orange rind.

This extreme contrast between rich development and piercing primary energy creates a dry, highly tense finish, making it an extraordinary, food-focused collector's piece.
