The Vineyard
Very steep southerly slope tucked into the north eastern corner of Dixons Creek. Well protected from the northerly winds. Highly mineral Humevale siltstone. It doesnt get much better than this.

Emu site produces distinctive spicy ethereal Pinot with obvious but gentle tannin. Perfumed, red fruits, briar, cedar, serious and irreverent.  

Cellaring
Sexy for  current drinking, textural and serious for a cool cellar, 4-6 years.
