Name: Ever wondered what your legacy will be?
Everyone wants to be remembered for their best work, their sole purpose and these old vines are no different. The intense fruit form these vines on our Estate vineyard have created an outstanding wine and a legacy to be proud of.
Vineyard & Winemaking:
The old Estate vines used to create this wine have produced a wonderful amount of depth and maturity in 2018 and it seemed only fair to reward that with the nurturing of the fruit in 50% seasoned French oak and 50% New French Oak for 28 months.
