Over the years, this wine has garnered quite the following. Though never around for very long, each release inevitably ends up on the lists of the great restaurants and wine bars of this country. And with good reason; it’s a lesson in balance, restraint and texture, with textbook Martin precision. The blend this year is Marsanne (35%), Roussanne (35%) and Viognier (30%) and the fruit is mainly sourced from 25-year-old vines grown on the Ravensworth Estate’s granite soils at 650 metres.
The fruit was picked in passes from 20th March to 19th April and pressed to seasoned 600-litre demi-muids for fermentation and maturation. After 10 months, the wine was stirred and transferred to 20-hectolitre seasoned Stockinger foudre for a further 12 months’ maturation. The wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered in February 2024.
