A warm and bright although relatively shy aromatic profile. More excitement on the palate, with plenty of energy, nice poise between sweet and sour, some savoury interest and good length. We like this wine’s vibrancy and great depth of flavour. Selling it BTG in both our Meatsmiths has just created a firm following for this delicious drop.
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 wordplay!), 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.
