Tasting Note:
‘Lisa and Justin Jenkins are doing good things out South Gippsland way. This is effortless to drink as it's lively and bright, juicy and tangy, full of fresh cherries and herbs, wood smoke and joss sticks. It’s lighter framed but has depth, with a succulence throughout shaped by fine tannins and crunchy acidity.’ 94 Points Jane Faulkner – Halliday Wine Companion 2025
'Bright cherry red in colour, vibrant nose, red fruits, blood plum, herbal spice, fleshy core, earthy palate with a savoury finish with silky, slippery tannins.' Justin and Lisa Jenkins
