Defying those who deemed it impossible, the Mt. Lord Vineyard site lies on a steep slope high up facing east, overlooking the Coal River Valley. The combination of low yielding, multi-clonal blocks and our small batch winemaking philosophy, using the finest of French oak barriques, challenge and excite us each harvest.

Notes of blue florals and olive are immediate on opening. Aromas of liquorice and Doris plum with hints of Asian 5 spice and Tasmanian native bushes give a winter herb lift. There is a brooding nature to the aromatics with notes of flint and blueberry. Fine natural acidity and powdery tannins give restraint to the fruit profile of fresh plum, tamarillo, cured meats and truffle. The tension between natural acidity and fine red fruits give flavour through the palate and persist remarkably for a young wine. This gives way to an earthy texture, softening of red fruits, complexed with savoury, cocoa notes
