TASTING NOTES
Only produced in very small quantities. Extended lees contact in barrel produces a wine with considerable texture and flavour, not to mention immense character.
BACKGROUND
James Healy and Ivan Sutherland left Cloudy Bay in 2003 after many year service as winemaker and vineyard manager respectively to make wine from Ivan's Dog Point vineyard. Fruit is sourced from selected vineyard plantings of older well-established vines. Low yields, hand-harvesting, natural yeasts, natural malolactic fermentation, lots of lees contact during maturation and a generally 'low tech' approach are key to the magnificence of their wines.
