Like our Reserve Riesling it is, first and foremost, a special vineyard selection, curated and cared for in the winery to highlight the fruit tannins and natural acidity. Making a 'first of a kind' is always a bit of an unknown - even if your vision is really clear.  I couldn't be happier with the eventuality.

The fruit for this wine is sourced from a block that was added in 2001 at the western border of the original plantings. While the very top of this block is an ironstone-rich, gravelly ridge, much of the block shows a prevalence towards a rich,\u003cbr\u003eloam dominant soil over limestone footing. These factors coupled with a multitude of influences, micro-climatic and otherwise, yield an expression quite different to our original blocks.
