Small Batch Collection
From time to time we see small parcels of fruit that stand out in the vineyard or winery. The Small Batch project offers us the opportunity to give voice to these wines in distinctive, creative one-off releases.
The colour is bright and pale gold, and the aromatics display characters of pear and apple. The palate is lively displaying lemon, stone fruits and a subtle almond nutty character. The finish is clean, with great acidity and a lingering fruit presence. We expect this wine will show its best after a few years aging in the bottle.
A tightly packed chardonnay displaying rich fruit flavours and a buttery character from malolactic fermentation. The wine shows a full mouthfeel derived from the lees work and a big French oak influence. The palate has length and drive towards the long finish, with broad intensity.
The colour is a light berry red, with powerful aromatics in the glass. Sour cherry and red berry fruit are at the fore, supported by complex savoury and earthy aromas. The palate is light and characterised by red fruit, brambly ‘bunch’ character and a subtle minerality. Smooth, drying tannins and bright acidity provide structure and length. An ideal style to serve chilled.
A medium bodied mataro with earthy aromas, blueberry, plum and spice. These characters follow through on the palate with a medium weight and textured mouthfeel. Oak takes a back seat as the fine tannins lead to a long and flavoursome finish.
