Tim Freeland and Domenic Torzi source precious Adelaide Plains old vine survival plantings from the 1950s
Aromas of ripe blackcurrant and liquorice are trailed by some earthy vanillin cedar mint and light tobacco notes
The stars continue to align as this vineyard continues to produce wines with density and a dreamy mix of aromatics and texture
Hats off to Veronique Sanders and the team at Haut-Bailly for another magical wine
a light lunch or just because it's fun
