Critic tasting note: (2000 vintage) "The aromas are so promising, redolent of toast and pears, butter and nectarines, that expectations are high. And make no mistake—this is very good wine. It's just that a slightly resinous veneer of spicy oak largely dominates the palate and finish." - Wine Enthusiast

Our most unique small vineyard sections where the Gingin clone on specific aspect and soil interplay in such a way to ignite very special varietal and wild yeast influence.

- Winemaking
-
A slightly later harvest held back by late January rain reached a subtle and precisely balanced structure of alcohol and acid line with the most delicate of flavors held tightly, resulting in beautiful restraint and balance. Natural MLF was allowed to complete. Hand-harvested, whole-bunches were pressed and transferred direct to barrel as unclarified juice. Only natural yeasts from the vineyard fermented the wine and was nurtured in our cellar for 15 months, 9 of which were in oak with some lees stirring. 100% Gingin clone and true to Heytesbury perfume and structure. A savory, delicate and beautifully structured, complex wine in a cooler, slightly later harvest year.

Vintage quality: Poor
Current condition: Likely past it
The 2000 vintage for Australia was decidedly mixed in quality.
Spring was cold but invariably gave way to a very hot summer which saw much of the country in drought. Heavy rains in February caused damage to grapes in certain regions.
For many producers, this meant a huge...
