2018 is a unique wine for Brookdale.  It was the second vintage for this wine and was made in by winemaking legend Duncan Savage, assisted by the brilliant Kiara Scott who the following year was appointed headwinemaker.  This is a unique wine and the last time they will make a wine with this level of concentration.....


Tasted by the team, we were all blown away by the quality....as were the critics and I love Tam's description, which is spot on!

'Smoky and silky and translucent. Wow, this acidity is electric! Absolutely stunning. Three-dimensional. Richness without weight. Walking on air. So long, tremulous, hint of bay leaf and finely traced spices. Finely etched and yet there is this incredible breadth. Like a clipper in full sail with the sting of salt in the air. The structure of the wine is so imperative that everything else falls into the shadows, which is not to say it isn't there – beautiful stone-crushed apricot fruit, dry herbs and tangerine-peel oils fill the spaces, brush-tip stipples of honey and brûlée hinting at the richness to come with age. More intensity than on the 2019. This is absolutely thrilling.' - Tamlyn Currin.
