An instant MUSEUM STOCK cellar from the 2016 vintage of Punch wines. A fantastic way to appreciate how gracefully and deliciously Lance's Vineyard wines age. Very limited quantities, remarkable value!
Grown by us on our historic and iconic Lance's Vineyard, established 1976, one of the oldest vineyard in the Nillumbik subregion of the Yarra Valley. Time has shown this vineyard to consistently be one of Australia's most distinguished sites.
“From the '84 plantings at St Andrews. A wine of the vintage - fully flavoured and ready to drink now. Yellow-straw with lashing of toast, beurre blanc and stone fruit all laced together with a fine web of citrus acidity, leaving a clean long finish. 95 Points" Halliday Wine Companion
“From the close planted vineyard at St Andrews with vines planted in '76, '95 and '03. The warm '16 vintage makes its mark. Dark garnet, concentrated looking and brooding in nature. Ripe, almost cooked plum. Dark berries, with brown spices underpinning. Rather than losing shape, there's a corset of fine tannin, oak spice and firm acidity holding it all together. The structural integrity will hold this wine for years. 94 Points” Halliday Wine Companion
"From a single block of 0.25ha planted at 8320 vines per/ha. So many similar attributes to the standard Pinot, but different, better in every way. More precise fruit, more spice and complexity, more lift. Fresher, brighter, with a fine tannin flow through the core of the wine, leaving a satin-like texture, and superior length. That it saw 67% new oak, a testament to the concentration of the fruit. 95 Points" Halliday Wine Companion
“From the '76 plantings, amazingly picked in Feb, but with no shortage of ripeness or flavour. It's bold, ripe cabernet all blackcurrant and bramble and with plenty of firm tannin from 21 days on skins, followed by 20 months in oak. A long life awaits. A rarity with only 35.5 dozen bottled. 95 Points” Halliday Wine Companion
These wines, being unfiltered, may have developed a slight deposit in the bottle, so settling and careful pouring/decanting is recommended.
