Lifted passionfruit, guava, nettle and cedar oak. A bold and powerful style with layers of citrus and tropical fruit, touches of jalapeño and sandalwood, creamy texture and oak in balance with the ripe fruit. A complex style.

2020 A mild 2020 spring with reasonable rainfall provided excellent growing conditions. A wet November followed by a warm and dry December and January set the vines for up for a regular season.However wet and humid conditions in February created an unusual vintage with extreme weather. As a result, the 2021 vintage required extra work and attention to detail in the vineyard. The final wines show incredible flavour at lower Baume’s with bright natural acidity. Great fruit purity and varietal expression.

Umamu create exquisite handcrafted wines.
