CAREY GULLY – PICCADILLY VALLEY – ADELAIDE HILLS

The Wine

The view from the Whisson Lake slope (Mt Carey) is expansive and impressive. The vines drink in a view of half the Adelaide Hills. Like the view, the wine has a lot going on. The more you look, the more you realise is there.

Deep dark ruby and bright in the glass. Red-skins aromas open-up and the wine becomes ethereal! Herb, flint, plums float around the glass. The plate is plush with sour cherry notes that follow through to apricots and vanilla.  The finish is mouth filling and expansive.
Drink or cellar to 2032.
Released June 2025.
