An instant MUSEUM STOCK cellar from the 2017 vintage of Punch wines, plus sneaky bottles of both the super youthful 2011 Chardonnay and the 2018 Chardonnay . 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.
“Light straw-green; from the estate planting of less than 1ha; it is a wine of exemplary poise and purity, wild-fermented and not filtered, the flavours moulded as much by stone fruit as citrus. 94 Points" Halliday Wine Companion
“Whole-bunch pressed directly to barrel, wild-yeast ferment, 10 months on lees in French oak. Looks good in the glass with a glowing green/gold hue. Matchstick, toasty oak, stone fruit and citrus vie for attention on the bouquet, and it's an attractive combination. Lowish alcohol from a fairly warm year has worked well here, capturing both flavour and freshness on the palate and finish. 93 Points" Halliday Wine Companion
“Hand-picked, whole-bunch pressed direct to barrel, wild-fermented, matured for 10 months on lees in barrel. Fresh and bright grapefruit. Balance and length, all class. 95 Points" Halliday Wine Companion
“Hand-picked, wild-fermented with 20% whole bunches, 17 days on skins, 12 months in French oak (33% new), 259 dozen made. Most attractive. Here, even more than the Close Planted, the '17 vintage works its magic. More perfume, spice, forest fruits, and some plum. Lovely wine. 95 Points” Halliday Wine Companion
"Estate-grown MV6 fermented with 38% whole bunches, 18 days on skins, matured in French oak (75% new), 83 dozen made. The pH is 3.65 but looks much higher. Powerful, a lesson in plum (blood/satsuma). Good wine, great lineage. 95 Points" Halliday Wine Companion
“Hand-picked, 0.9t of 70g bunches, destemmed, wild-fermented, matured for 15 months, 65 dozen made. Very generous and will be irresistible to those who like high quality French oak, the more the better. 94 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.
