"From sandy soil vines planted in 1958 farmed by acclaimed viticulturist/gardener, of biodynamic practices, Fiona Wood. McLaren Vale, of course.
This has tension and finesse, crunch and chew. Perfume and presence, bright, red fruited, lightly spiced, gentle herbal elements, some candied raspberry notes and a general sense of good energy and liveliness. Tannin is fine, lightly sandy, draws the wine long and tightens things well. A pretty wine, overall, and with good sense of drinkability. Charming."
