Tasting Notes

Red cherry, forest berries, Asian spice, rose petals and a perfumed note highlight the aromas. The palate has a fine structure with supple tannins, a silky texture and volume of fruit that carries the long finish. Extremely fine and poised. 

More Info

The philosophy of Yabby Lake and their Single Block wines is to craft single vineyard wines of great purity and character, reflective of the site and the season in which it was grown. It’s the attention and care in the vineyard that is most critical to allowing this expression. When a parcel stands out for its individual personality, they take a small amount of that parcel and bottle it separately under their Single Block label. The 2018 season was characterised by a warm and extended summer. The wines are intensely flavoured, yet poised and balanced, ensuring their longevity.

FROM THE PRESS

“Hand-picked and sorted, gently destemmed leaving 25% whole bunches in traditional oak ferment, 3-4 days cold soak, 14 days on skins, pressed to French puncheons for 11 months maturation. Exceptional colour; super supple mouthfeel, a velvety mid-palate balanced by savoury/foresty glimpses on the finish. Retasted in '20, vibrant and still in primary mode with juicy pinot fruit. Drink until 2035.”
James Halliday, 96 points
