The 2013 vintage (4.5*), estate-grown and hand-harvested at Bendigo, was mostly handled in tanks, but 42 per cent of the blend was fermented with indigenous yeasts in old French oak barrels. Made in an off-dry style (5 grams/litre of residual sugar), it’s a mouthfilling, slightly creamy wine, fleshy, weighty and rounded, with a slightly oily texture and strong pear, lychee and spice flavours, showing good complexity. Drink now or cellar.
