TASTING NOTES

Colour

Dark ruby, purple hues.

Aroma

Lifted violets, forest fruits, cloves and fennel.

Palate

Dense brambly fruit, charcuterie, savoury spice, fine tannins and a delicate acid poise.

The Lane Vineyard Block Series show true varietal character and the influence of the terroir of The Lane Vineyard. Block numbers indicate the patch within the vineyard where the fruit is grown, as do the "Google Earth" coordinates on each label. Minimum intervention winemaking allows the vineyard to do the talking.

Stylish, fresh, fruit driven wines with a true sense of place.
