This block is warm and early ripening, free draining, with predominantly schist soils on a steep northerly-facing slope. Extensive canopy and crop management is carried out during the growing season to ensure the grapes attained full physiological ripeness with great concentration, aromatics, and flavour. Yields are kept low and do not exceed 38hl/ha or 5t/ha. The 2021 Infusion jumps out of the glass with an abundance of bright red and blue fruits and florals. Raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, plums, cherries and flowering thyme. The bright acidity of the palate, as well as the structure of some fine, mineral-like tannins, carries all of these flavours through to vibrant and energetic finish. Our winemaking aims to be an exercise in understanding and translating our stunning sites into wine as accurately as possible with a minimum of winery signature. This engaging wine has great purity and freshness with a structure that makes for versatile food matches.
