NOSTALGIA embraces emotions and love. We reflect on the connection to a place, and how that connection is both at once comforting, but coloured with longing and loss. It is through a lens of connection and longing we decided to make a wine that is a pure expression of a place, a terrior. This is Leongatha, South Gippsland. Country we love.
Drink this now with a decant, or cellar over the next 5-10 years.
‘Deep crimson burgundy colour, perfumed aromatics – florals, cherry, plums – with earthy, spice notes. Leading to a complex and layered palate. A lot of structure and fruit weight, with purity and drive with acid and tannin interplay. Interesting, intriguing and alluring.
