Vibrant red and dark cherry, hints of boysenberry and layers of baking spices are in perfect harmony in this seamless wine. The dusty, integrated tannins add structure to the elegant middle palate and the lingering finish is filled with mineral and red fruit notes.
Olearia Lineata is a small dense tree with elegant fine branches and tiny drought resistant leaves that once carpeted the valley floors of Central Otago. We are fortunate to have large numbers of these officially ‘at-risk’ trees in and around both our Bendigo vineyards and continue to plant more.
This wine comes from the very steep, highest elevation parcels on our Rocky Point Vineyard, planted on mineral-rich schist soils.
“Succulent, fine and grainy, dark fruited but layered with alpine herbs, chewy, woody spice characters and silty with schisty, crushed rock and slate characters. It’s tightly wound, compact, all about minerality and savouriness, really delicious and delightful, a wine to let unwind and explore with luxurious time. Seriously good.” – The Winefront
