Our latest edition of Cloudwalker continues with the same single site on the stony fringe of the Dry River. This year we've eased back on extraction slightly settling for just over 2 weeks of soaking with skins and seeds. Aromatically apricot and dried orange peel, aromatic wood and autumn leaves, on the palate this wine shows a firm spine of gently bitter phenolics that linger like chalk, sap and spice - expect the wine to really sing over the next 3 years.
