The Foggy Hill vineyard is located at 350 metres above sea level at Parawa on the Fleurieu Peninsula dead south of Adelaide. French oak barriques (1/3rd new). From a central block in the Foggy Hill north-western slope, planted over 20 years ago to clones 115 and 777.
Garnet and vibrant. Lifted strawberry, cracking gunflint, fresh thyme, kidskin leather glove, rose petal, glace cherry, savoury black olive tapenade, 5 Spice, French toast and soaked hibiscus flower. A spiced and savoury release with an exquisite, firm frame of tannin. There’s some heft and muscularity, but well managed to retain finesse and elegance with a focus on fruit. Length, depth and presence.
