Pinot Noir from Picadilly Valley, Adelaide Hills
Showing the wonderful minerality of Picadilly fresh & vibrant. Excellent red fruit with strawberries and cream. Lacing of florals and citrus, seamless and beautifully integrated. Ripe yet sophisticated, elegant fruit. Complexed by a harmonious reserve wine. Balanced to allow the fruit to shine, vibrant, salty acidity with a calming low dosage. Proper base wine élévage sees a complete wine on release. Xavier goes for a full malo as he doesn’t like the texture of malic acid. Whatever
Nebbiolo from Adelaide Hills, South Australia
Now in it’s 18th year of life! A fascinating comparison with the other vintages.

The wine cleansing the food & the food bringing the balance.On first tasting I paired it the tuna and salmon sush
Nebbiolo from Adelaide Hills, South Australia
Now in it’s 16th year of life! The 2008 is the most structured of the trilogy. Remarkable freshness for a 2008. Seriously impressive secondary development with a superb core of sweet, yet certainly not over the top fruit. Very complete with plush long fine tannins.

Savoury, earthy, hints of tabacco, and leather as a faint sophisticated perfume dancing over the top. Forest floo

Chardonnay from Picadilly Valley, Adelaide Hills
Subtle fine, brooding, tightly coiled length depth fine the acid was super fine. Sophistication in the flow of the fruit really very good. Generosity of fruit yet restraint. Another excellent edition. Again, the evenness of the weight through the palate is exceptional. The textural finesse and length outstanding. Layered beautiful wine. Stunning build of flavour and intensity with chalky fine acid. Incredibly complete and harmonious. Restraint with power. Now there's a trick!The 2023 Tapanap
Nebbiolo from Adelaide Hills, South Australia
Now in it’s 20th year of life! A rose and light musk perfume lift from the glass. You immediately expect sophistication after the first inhale. Alive, vital, with a sweet core of fruit just delicious. The persistence and length here is insane gracing your senses for an eon.

An ease, shape and flow.The secondary development yields a bewildering ar
