“This is the second release of Valli’s Out of the Shadows series. Every once in a while, there are a couple of special barrels a winemaker would like to bottle separately, hide in the warehouse, pull out of the shadows and share once they are approaching maturity. In 2016, a single vineyard site along Waitaki Valley’s Grants Road delivered such a wine. It is now time to share and while this wine is beginning to show the complexity that can only come with age, we expect it will last and improve for another 8-10 years.” Grant Taylor - October 2022
