This vineyard in Heathcote is now nearly 50 years old and produces fruit of depth and power with a typical regional ironstone influence. This is a return for the Mt Ida which was not released from 2019 to the current release. For me the wine is about the structure and the palate. In this case the ferruginous characters show in the fruit flavours and the ripe firm tannins. Loads of dark ripe fruit but it’s delivered with a smooth polished finish. A plush and beautifully presented wine.
