With its sweeping views across to the snow-clad alps, this is uncompromising cool-climate viticulture, and the wines naturally reflect the climate. Light but intense Riesling and spicy Traminer flower with a year or two in bottle, and in the warmer vintages the red wines achieve flavour and mouthfeel, albeit with a distinctive mintiness. Produced from 2 hectares of fully mature estate plantings. Warm years like 1999 are particularly good in ultra-cool areas such as Mansfield. James Halliday
