    About The Wine

    The 2025 wine is quite deep in colour with a bright red edge. The nose shows aromas of cherry, raspberry and blackcurrant as well as cardamom, rose petals and violets.

    The palate tastes of more berry fruits, rusted iron and a subtle, briny, kelp-like edge. It is textured and round with noticeable tannin and very good length.  

    A blend of fruit from the Matthews vineyard in Berrys Creek and Guendulain Farm in Yarragon again this year. Matthews was planted to MV6 on red volcanic soil in 1998 and has always been dry grown. It is a cool, damp site and the vines grow dense, lush canopies. The vines at Guendulain were planted in Baw Baw Shire in 2008 at 10,000 vines per hectare, half MV6 and half Pommard clone.

    A wine to drink now but will certainly keep for many year to come.
