Published 01 August 2018
Two-thirds whole berries/one-third crushed into 300l terracotta amphorae for wild fermentation, 10 weeks on skins before pressed to French oak (66% new) for 5 months. Stripping away all the obvious questions re price – and yes, it is cheap compared to Grange and Hill of Grace – this is a truly beautiful and graceful cabernet. Its purity of varietal fruit expression, its perfect fruit/oak/tannin balance and its length are exceptional, and amply justify Vanya Cullen’s belief the wine will age well for at least 50 years.
