Sourced from vines planted in 1978 - the oldest vines in the region.
"A complete wine. Beautiful." - 97pts Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)
Ripe white nectarine/peach is offset by grapefruit pith and flinty acidity.

Description
The 2022 vintage was a cooler and damp growing season. Regular rainfall events throughout the entire 21/22 season kept temperatures mild; and prevailing east and north-east winds provided higher humidity, preserving aromatics and contributing to finer phenolics than normally the case in wines from the Fighting Gully Road vineyard.
Textural and medium weight supported by delicate oak providing length and persistence. White stone fruit and white flowers prevail, with a hint of underlying spicy oak.
