This one has been resting deep in the cellar for a couple of years and is in a very good place right now. The wine was the result of starting a ferment after the very first 2018 pick. Then the best bunches of subsequent selected varieties that were picked thereafter were added in small amounts of to the ferment to keep it going throughout harvest. Over 14 different varieties ended up in this wine, too many to list but approx 50% red / 50% white. Savoury, fresh, energetic and very complex. Drink chilled !
New Zealander Dane Johns (who staged with the great Bill Downie) worked many years as a barista in Melbourne where he learned about roasting and the nuances of blending and flavour infusion. He was also a musician, making electronic music and then moving towards the analogue version (much like his winemaking).
