- Winemaker: Bart van Olphen
- Farming: Sustainable
- Variety: Vermentino
- Terroir: East facing sloped site, 150-170m elevation with red Cambrian soil. Vermentino clone imported by Chalmers in 2002 and planted at Heathcote in 2009 in east-west row orientation at 4545 vines per hectare on unilateral cordon, spur pruned VSP. Farming is sustainable, focused on soil health and balanced vines.
- Vinification: Hand-picked, whole-bunch pressed, free run only. A long, slow, and cool wild ferment followed by 5 months on lees in stainless steel vats. Unfined, vegan friendly.
- Tasting Note: Crisp and lean, yet quite expressive and complex. White peach, finger lime (a punchy native citrus), blanched almonds, sea spray and chalk. Long and refreshing, with a fleshy midpalate and bright acidity.
- Critical Acclaim: 91, James Suckling
