- TASTING NOTE: "Bottled unfined and unfiltered with minimal sulphur. A deep ruby red. Darkly fruited and brooding with aromas of dark cherry, satsuma plum, dried roses and mountain herbs, the low yielding 2022 vintage suits the 100% whole-bunch approach here. This sure packs a punch on the concentrated, structured palate and my advice is to either drink this with an aged rib eye now, or give it a year or two in bottle. It was built to go the distance and I've no doubt it will." 93 Points - Phillip Rich, Halliday
- ABOUT THE WINE: From 25 year old vines off the Thick As Thieves home block. 100% whole bunch. Unfined, unfiltered. Minimal sulphur.
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: In 2009 Syd Bradford started Thick as Thieves Wines in the Yarra Valley as a virtual operation - buying in grapes and renting facilities. After years of hard yakka, he has now established a family winery and vineyard. Purchasing the Cypress Ridge vineyard in the Yarra Valley in 2012 was the game changer for Thick as Thieves, now 26 year old Pinot Noir vines that are in a happy spot and produce Syd's flagship wines. Syd's wine making style is pretty pragmatic - "Sometimes my job is as simple as fermenting grape juice and letting it do it's thing. Sometimes nature can throw a few curve balls and the wines need more love and attention. For me it's about making honest expressions of the variety and the site while making sure it's a great wine to drink."
