This wine offers an enticing aromatic profile, with abundant notes of bramble and the subtle essence of smoked oak. Delicate hints of nose petal and lilac dance alongside a touch of white pepper and the intriguing presence of black clemy cardy. On the palate, it boasts a graceful yet spirited entrance, characterized by silky tannins that caress the senses. The bright burst of fresh red and blue berries provides a lively contrast to the rich undertones of dark chocolate. The finish is a testament to its depth and complexity, with the oak tannins lending a lasting and robust character to this captivating wine.

The Petit Estate is a selection from younger vine blocks throughout the Hyland Estate. Vibrant red fruits are framed by lively notes of raspberry leaf and green tea in the aromas and a sweet note of earthy compost. The palate is lively and fresh as brisk red raspberries, black tea and sweet earth all come together in a rather tannic finish.

Petit describes the wine's restraint and elegance, as snappy acidity and silky tannins match restrained alcohol. The Petit is packed with the aromas and flavors of Bing cherries, lemon zest, bittersweet dark chocolate and a wisp of coriander and oak spice. The wine feels soft and refined on the palate. It spent 20 days on the skins and nine months in a mix of stainless steel and French oak. — Michael Alberty
