The 2013 vintage (4*) is a weighty, youthful, single-vineyard wine, grown at Hope and fermented and matured for 11 months in French and American oak barriques. A powerful, full-bodied style (14.5 per cent alcohol), with generous, ripe, peachy, citrusy flavours, and buttery and toasty notes adding complexity, it has balanced acidity and obvious cellaring potential.
