2018 Greenstone '...mmm! Handpicked' Heathcote Mataro
Greenstone was established in 2003, in Heathcote by global wine leaders David Gleave MW (UK), Alberto Antinori (Italy) and Mark Walpole (Aust). In 2015 an Australian family purchased the vineyard and looked to the Yarra Valley to expand. They purchased the Sticks vineyard (formerly Yarra Ridge) in the same year. Here is what James Halliday wrote about this wine in his 2021 Wine Companion “Crushed, wild-fermented, 3 weeks on skins, matured for 16 months in used French oak. Relatively light in colour. This doesn’t have an axe of tannins suspended above your neck, rather a fruit core wrapped with a filmy satin swathe a la Windouree.”
