The Matt Holmes’ versions of this wine feel a tad lighter on their feet than Glover’s deep-set ‘beasties’. The 2018 was drawn mostly from 1996 plantings on the eastern edge of the Winery Block, with some fruit from new plantings on Olive Tree Hill. Holmes then split the fruit. A third was destemmed and lightly crushed before fermentation on skins for one week, finishing in older puncheons, and the remainder was whole-bunch pressed straight to tank.

Reviews

"Made in 3 batches of equal size: the 1st fermented on skins, the 2nd in French oak, the last fermented in tank. Unsurprisingly providing a wine of power and length. Grapefruit hits a high note on the finish and aftertaste, the texture is also very important."
96 points, James Halliday, Wine Companion
“As far as I know this is current which means that it’s released as a three-nearly-four-year-old. It’s a juicy, generous white wine on the one hand and s smoky and complex one on the other. It tastes of grapefruit and meal, tropical fruit and hay, with sweet pea-like notes humming in the background. It tastes both varietal and distinctively itself. The velvety flow of complex-but-juicy fruit flavour here is lovely.”
