Notes from Ochota Barrels…
3200 bottles produced from 76 year old dry grown bush vines on the Blewitt Springs ridge - tiny berries and a minuscule yield. A fragrant thread of wild herbs, fennel seed and charcuterie is underpinned with raspberry, violets and Asiatic spice. The taut nervous tension of compact red currants and Satsuma plum fills the mid palate with mouth-watering red berry intensity. Finely grained but authoritative tannins position this svelte, fleshy, and measured weight of forest cherries and persimmon into a long succulent and savoury finish.
