Farm and Vineyard sits on the ancient mountain derived soils of the Gruyere sub-region in the heart of the Yarra Valley. The 150 hectare property was planted to 12.3 hectares of vines in 2000, with blocks ranging from 130 to 208m altitude. The six blocks were specifically chosen to suit each variety planted; Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc. Aspect, soil type and sun exposure are all maximised to produce wines of exceptional poise, balance and character.
"Hand picked from two blocks, one north facing and one partially south facing. About 10% whole bunches in final cuvée. A light, very bright crimson red. Red fruits, lavender and spice are all present on the nuanced bouquet. Even better on the palate, which has excellent depths framed by chalky, persistent tannins and bright acidity. Good, but definitely a wine that will continue to improve for at least the next two to three years." 95pts | Phillip Rich | Halliday Wine Companion
