Wine Description
Ian Becker’s old bush block in Koonunga is caught in time. Farmed by Ian
Becker and his family for generations. An isolated place that produces
special grapes year in, year out. In a truly great vintage like 2021, the grapes
are exceptional. The vineyard naturally crops low, essentially dry grown
bush vines farmed as they were 100 years ago.
The wine is highly perfumed, with an intense fruit driven mouthful of red
fruits, tannin, clearly powerful but with a subtlety and balance that suggests
a wine that will cellar well in the right conditions. Landmark vintage,
landmark wine.
