This is a very sentimental wine from our most elevated vineyard, planted in 2001, that pays tribute to my mother, Kaye. It’s a vineyard with a stunning perspective over the other vineyards, the winery, house and to the forests and hills beyond. There are some lovely metaphors, no doubt. The site has a lot of quartz and mudstone, a smattering of volcanic soils that have eroded down from the volcanic plateau above, and produces a wine of fragrance, structure and complexity. The 2022 Kaye is typically fragrant for this site with seductive rose and earth. There are also wild red fruit aromas. The palate is juicy, creamy of fruit, chewy of tannin and mouth filling. The finish is balanced, structured and long. It will drink at its best from five years of age.
