An instant MUSEUM STOCK cellar from the 2019 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 vines planted in 1984 in Nillumbik. Whole-bunch pressed directly to barrel (30% new). Natural ferment with zero mlf. Matured 10 months in oak. A bright green gold. White peaches and nectarine, some lemon oil, yuzu and citrus blossom together with hints of oatmeal biscuit. This has terrific drive, with a savoury edge complementing the textured, layered palate. Finished long and satisfying. 93 Points" Halliday Wine Companion
"Planted in 1989, this tiny 0.25ha vineyard houses the oldest close-planted pinot vines in the Yarra Valley. 30% whole bunches, 17 days on skins. Matured 13 months in barrel, 50% new. Bottled unfined and unfiltered. A very bright, medium, crimson red. Lifted and aromatic with exotic forest-floor fruits, ferrous notes, pomegranate and whole-bunch-derived dried herbs and fennel seeds. The equally impressive palate is concentrated, layered and effortless. This is a pleasure to drink, even now. Ripe, fine and persistent tannins make for a wine that will provide years of enjoyment, but you will need to be quick: only 80 dozen were made. 96 Points" Halliday Wine Companion
“From 1976-planted cabernet vines, in Nillumbik. Only 600 bottles made and, according to the label, I tasted bottle number 143! Matured 17 months in 1st- and 2nd-use French oak. A deep, almost impenetrable, purple red. Concentrated and reticent with aromas of dark plum, blackcurrant, dark chocolate, cedar and ironstone pressings. Textured and layered with ripe, dusty tannins. A class act that will reward at least 10 years in a cool, dark place. 93 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.
