2021 Project
“A single vineyard Merlot with structure and presence. The Italian Q45 clone produces a more richly flavoured, weighty, and dark-fruited expression. Bold and serious, but generous.”

Vineyard Notes
A tricky season commencing with early bud break and strong growth. A cool, wet November impacted fruit set, resulting in reduced yields. Early summer was hot and dry, but February brought more cool, wet conditions until some dry, warm March days which helped ripen the reds. Organic farming had the vineyard in terrific shape to deal with the season's challenges.
