Tasting Note

The Cuttings is produced from a small vineyard of just 0.8 hectare, established from cuttings taken from the original Poonawatta 1880 vines. Planted between 1978 and 1982, the vines share some characters of the 1880 vineyard, especially the thicker skins and fine tannins, while bunch size is smaller. While 100 years younger than the 1880 vineyard, yield is typically lower due to the lean rocky soil profile.

Review

"2021 was a stellar vintage in the Eden Valley and there is plenty to like here. Ripe black plum and blackberry fruits, deeply etched with dark spices, sage, bay leaf, licorice, dark chocolate, pan juices and oaken spice. Quite structured with plenty of tannin chew and gristle; acidity sleek and driving and a lingering exit studded with spiced black fruits."
