Created in collaboration with Jim Chatto, this regional blend captures the essence of Tasmania. The 2025 vintage shows lifted floral notes—particularly violet—alongside red cherry fruit, spice, and fine, persistent tannins.

Halliday Wine Companion

“From three mature sites in the state’s north; wild ferment, then 10 months in French oak. As usual, some slightly darker fruits here, black and dark red, but composed and refined with it, as these wines always are, with transparency and detail favoured over opulence. There are some floral notes here, too, in the blue-to-purple zone, somewhat dusky, along with ground warm spices. This is the most generous of the regional trio – though the prior elegance qualification applies – supple and textural, with the length sustained. Very good indeed.” - Marcus Ellis
