2019 Serre Pinot Noir
Usually $109 - Special Offer $99
"From a pinot noir vineyard planted in the 1980s. Stunning pinot noir. Complex, confident, silken and sustained. So much earth, so much undergrowth, so much sweet, meaty spice and such positive traces of twigs and wood. But it’s the fruit, cherried, beet-like, ripe at low alcohol levels, suede soft, convincing, that really shines, and really gets the job done. We’re in elite territory here."

2018 S.R.H Chardonnay
Usually $89 - Special Offer $82
"Chardonnay vineyard planted in 1976 to clone P58. The soils are predominantly dark clay over a limestone base, site of an ancient sea bed. Whole bunch pressed to tank, settled overnight. Wild fermented in French oak hogsheads and puncheons (20% new). On lees 11 months with minimal stirring, 70% malo-lactic fermentation. Minimal stirring before bottling in January, 2019."
Winery notes
“Straw-coloured but then fresh and pear-like on the palate. Interesting wine, quite distinctive, with flashes of quartz and sweet cedar matched to gun smoke and lemon curd. It has both length and intensity on its side, along with complexity, but perhaps not harmony. It’s not close to ready; it needs time.”
