Slick, unique, zesty
Tasted bottle No.575 of 600.
This organic and vegan Roussanne was harvested from the estate's Coyote Block (planted in 2009) and was naturally barrel fermented and aged 9 months.
It has a rich golden hue and notes of toasted hazelnut and lanolin, beeswax, yellow apples, star fruit and lemon curd. The palate is quite fleshy and has a creamy edge with flavours of golden fruits, charred nuts, salted preserved lemon and a zesty finish. It's vaguely reminiscent of a fino en rama sherry.
Very unique, a wine for food; think oily fish, white meats and soft cheeses.

Slick, woven, singular.
Tasted bottle No.272 of 533.
This organic and vegan Roussanne was harvested from the estate's Coyote Block (planted in 2009) and was naturally barrel fermented and aged 9 months.
Notes of beeswax and lemon oil are woven with wild mushrooms and coconut husk, straw and forest floor. It has an oily texture and the flavours are an echo of the nose. Slick and spicy and singular.

Tasted bottle No.1292 of 1500.
This organic and vegan Syrah was harvested from the estate's Coyote Block (planted in 2007-2008) and aged 21 months in French oak.
An excellent vintage of this Syrah, which delivers notes of blackberry and plums soaked in vanilla, black raspberry, baking spices, vanilla, violets and fine white peppery undertones. The palate is supple and fresh with cocoa dusted berry and leather flavours. Good power with polished tannins. Delicious.
