Old Garden was picked at optimum phenological ripeness. After fermentation approaching three weeks on skins the wine was subsequently matured in 100% new French barriques for 18 months.
These complex oak characters help soften tannins while compliment the terroir-based flavour profile of black, glazed cherries, dark chocolate, mocha & even orange peel that manifests itself each year in this single vineyard wine.
This demonstrates the remarkable nature of the vineyard
- a wine of such iconic distinctiveness.
The 2010 Old Garden is already a classic & speaks of its rich tradition & inheritance.
This wine illustrates our belief that great wine is expression of single vineyard & vintage. Limited stock.
