The difference between the older and younger blocks here is always pretty amazing to people. As the vines continue to age these older vines continue to sink deep root systems into the soft sandstone sub-soil. Our water is spring fed and very minerally in nature. That is what these older vines have tapped into and that is what they pull up and put into the fruit.

"The 2022 Pinot Noir Estate Vineyard Old Vine slowly evolves in the glass as a delicate blend of dusty florals and autumnal spices gives way to peppery wild berries. It's round and soothing on the palate with tart red fruits guided by juicy acidity - inner rosy florals cascade throughout. It tapers off spicy and long, classically dry yet only lightly tannic, leaving a slowly fading crunchy sensation."
