\"The longer maceration period (21 days), extended time in oak when stepping up the range has served this wine very well. The alloyed tannins, as precise as ball-bearings, passage this richer sibling to a long, layered finish. The reductive card is played ever so gently, yet the resounding impression is one of lilac florals and generous blue fruits, skirting across peppery acidity.\" Ned Goodwin, Halliday Wine Companion.<\/div><\/div>
Winemakers Notes:\u00a0 <\/strong>Extremely low crop levels and ideal growing conditions ensured the 2016 vintage was ideal for the development of intense varietal characters. \u00a0Weather conditions were very mild daytime temperatures during January, February and March, with the nights averaging below 10 degrees, all conductive to exceptional flavour development and the retention of natural acidity in the fruit.\n\nEach year, winemakers Bob and Iain Baxter select only the finest barrels to be included in the \u2018Barrel Select\u2019 Blend. \u00a0These exceptional barrels fully express the individual terroir and represent the pinnacle of winemaking from our vineyard.\u00a0 Only a limited number of bottles of this wine were produced from the 2016 vintage.<\/div><\/div>
