"Lowestoft Vineyard; up to 50% whole bunches; gentle hand plunging; matured 10 months in 25% new large-format French oak. The 2020 vintage secures Lowestoft among Tasmania's A-league, but it's going to be a long time before the full magnificence of its flagship is realised. The coiled potential on display here is something to behold, with pristine and precise black and red cherry fruit intricately woven with the perfumed allure of whole bunches and the fine-grained framework of top-class French oak. Brilliant."

– Tyson Stelzer, Halliday Wine Companion

Vibrant crimson with ruby hue. Bright cranberry and plum aromas evolve in the glass revealing a lifted, sweet perfume of pomegranate, blood orange and exotic spices. The palate is supple and lithe with plush, velvet tannins carrying waves of bright raspberry and dark cherry flavours with a fine thread of acidity weaving everything together.

"A very dry winter led into a wet spring, which allowed for great bud burst and canopy growth. A cool vintage with high wind saw low yields producing fruit with incredible intensity of flavour and colour.

Fruit from the famed Lowestoft Vineyard was hand-picked and fermented in 1T open-top fermenters, with up to 50% whole bunch inclusion. Gently hand plunged as required throughout fermentation, with gentle pressing to tank post MLF. Ten months maturation in large format French oak (25% new) before careful blending and bottling with minimal additions. Enticing amaro and exotic spice unfold layers of red berry fruit, sage leaf and wild thyme A richly structured palate with cherry fruit, dried cranberry and wet earth surround a mineral core, with vivacious juicy acidity flowing through the palate. A savoury, mineral edge bridges complexity with vibrancy."
