The Vineyard
Gentle north-east facing slope, cooler than expected, early ripening, very aromatic site. Highly mineral Humevale siltstone which give us some of our finest wine styles.

The Wine 
The Abbey site is quite fine and elegant with perfume and power. Very pretty black cherry fruit, complex slightly rustic nose with hint of strawberry and clove. The palate is powerful with spice, earth and red fruit flavours that build in texture. Elegant finish with with fine powdery tannins.

Cellaring
Surprisingly poised now, but should be pretty fancy over 3-5 years.
