Rich, rich nose with an abundance of fruit and florals. Same on the palate where nothing is too textural or overdone. Bit of sweetness coming from the lees contact, but this is so well-integrated with the acidity that it makes us shed tears of joy. Top-notch quality from the LP crew.
Established by the Nix family in collaboration with winemaker Paul Olds, who is known for his work on southern French winery Les Clos Perdu (translates to “the lost vineyard”, great word play!), this is a project that looks for the best quality, and sometimes forgotten fruit, around the state of Victoria. Working from Nagambie to Heathcote to Mornington, there’s no varietal limit to their creativity. Paul has now passed the winemaking baton to the very capable hands of the talented Matt Campbell who continues the tradition of gentle handling and minimal mucking around to produce beautiful small batch wines that truly reflect their sense of place.
