Lovely bouquet of poached strawberry, high toned ferric earth, raspberry, fennel and slight mushroom note. So bright to the senses and carries a understated complexity within the immense drinkability.

With the maturity of the newer plantings and grafting at our Salvation Hills vineyard, we welcolmed fruit from both these parcels in 2024 and continue to do so in 2025.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHOW DOES IT TASTE?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRed fruits of cranberry, crushed strawberry, blood orange and orange peel.
