"John and Simon Denton’s Estate sits atop a 300-million-year old granite plug on the border of Coldstream and Tarrawarra in the Yarra Valley, an electric site aptly named ‘View Hill’. Luke Lambert, who has established a reputation for producing pure, site-ascendant wines is the winemaker.
This is a unique site in the Yarra Valley littered with huge granite boulders making it particularly suited to growing exceptional Nebbiolo in particular. The wines are powerful and bold in the context of Yarra Valley wine. A great winemaker and a great site working in total lockstep yielding excellent results.
The Nebbiolo block sits half way up the North Western slope, catching all available sunshine hours. The granitic sand over granite boulders and long, slow growing season provide a very special and unique terroir.
This unique micro-climate and soil profile contribute lots of bright, fresh red fruit, aniseed, red flower perfume, and fine tannin on an acid frame." - Denton
