Sourced from Sidewood’s Nairne vineyard, this is deemed to be the first organic wine in the stable. It’s quite tight and shy at first opening, but wait a while and lovely things start to happen, dark fruits and exotic spices appear from within, a herbal feel in the anise notes, and again Hills-force pepperiness from a cooler season is not out of place. It’s only the beginning for this wine – give it five years and the promise of much more to come will be revealed.
