However, there is an upside which is that the wines from 2026 will be truly memorable. Why are these wines so special? Simply because the velvety rich and sumptuous black cherry fruit flavours are superbly balanced with an uplifting and refreshing crunchy vibrancy. These are not heavy wines, they are dangerously moreish.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany seasoned observers feel the wines are superior to the outstanding 1976 vintage, the first vintage Chris made as a winemaker.
