From Stonegarden, a 162 year old vineyard planted near Springton at 400m altitude in the coldest, driest and most remote part of the Eden Valley. The vines struggle to yield 1/2 tonne/acre on sandy loam over yellow clay and granite. Some whole-bunches are utilised in the fermentation. Numbered bottle.
"Wowsers. High grade kit here but you know what? I'd expect this given (1) quality of the winemaker and (2) impeccible vineyard source. Some obvious fruit sweetness but don't let this distract. A lot going on - soft mineral touches, mild game, zingy edges late. Mega primary. Love it." Stewart @ GSW
"159yo vines. 50% grenache, 50% mataro. 10% whole bunches. Immense concentration and yet the flavours are bell clear. This puts the super into premium. It bursts cherries and berries onto the palate and then stamps earth, spices and assorted petals all over. It's dry, serious and joyous at once. There's a whip crack of tannin and rockets of flavour through the finish." 97pts | Campbell Mattinson | Halliday Wine Companion
