Envoy Varieties

A single vineyard range of wines with old world values delivering the message of land and time. Selected micro sites from within Johnson Estate which consistently produce the best fruit are chosen to represent site and variety. Selection is the vineyard site, not cherry picking of finished wines. Winemaking is deliberately low tech and low intervention allowing winemaking interpretation to guide the process.
