The medium bodied nature of Mountain A comes from the particular block planted in 1965. There are cranberries and lily pilly fruit strangely reminiscent to some of the coiled red fruits found in Sicilian varieties, as is the nature and fragrance of blocks that stand apart from the rest. Here you will marvel at the Rosella flowers with a nod to rosehip too. There is a warm spice of Cayenne pepper and some lingering heat just on the final note, this adds a softness to what is a very crunchy wine. Try pairing this with Njuda spiced mussels or good quality chorizo wedged between turkish bread for a delightful start to your evening. Drink now or cellar for another 6-8 years further.
