Tasting Notes

An abundance of fragrances to the nose. Wild crimson and black fruits, dry herbs, and cedar notes provide depth and savouriness. The wine has persistent, rich flavours that run the length of the tongue and are evocative of the aromatics found on the nose. It is lively and refreshing. The flavours are carried by well-integrated, fine-grained tannins, giving this exquisite, interesting wine a lacy, lingering length.

Harvest:Hand-picked

Winemaking:The grapes were destemmed. Fermentation was with wild yeast from the vineyard. The wine spent sometime macerating on its skins to achieve balance and was then pressed using a traditional basket press. During the winter and spring the wine components developed in oak barrels before being blended and then returned to oak barrels to mature until balanced and ready to bottle. The wine was lightly fined with organic egg whites.

Viticulture:Gimblett Gravels region is known for producing high-quality wines that are complex and flavorful, thanks to the unique terroir and warm climate of the area.

Inspired by William Murdoch, who served as a Coldstream regiment guardsman in the 1890s, their ethos revolves around integrity, harmony, and authenticity. His values and the family motto, "Omine Secundo" (under favourable omen), led Brett Murdoch to establish the brand in his honour. Gimblett Gravels’ free-draining soil and temperate climate facilitate Bordeaux-style grapes, producing full-flavoured, premium wines.
