Volcanic Hill is a south-facing hillside vineyard. The consistency of the grey soil is that of light, fluffy ash originally deposited from ancient volcanic eruptions. Volcanic Hill sits in the estate’s warmest microclimate. The site often produces Diamond Creek’s most powerful and long-lived wine.
Dark, rich and concentrated, yielding a complex array of currant, black cherry, olive, cedar and spice, finishing with supple but firm tannins.
