Great Syrah nose. 'Rhoney' for sure as it jumps out of the glass. A gorgeous fine line of saline savour. Palate is more supple and open. Well-ripened small black berries. Nice lift and flow. Touch of spicy grip on the finish. Gives great pleasure like a super sophisticated, serious Syrah, but with a welcome, faint line of 'blackcurrant pastilles' running through the core. Totally charming and very hard to resist. L&S (Apr 2021)

Jayden Ong
Jayden Ong started making wine at his 'One Block' winery in 2010. There is another label for others which are not strictly 'one block' - 'La Maison de Ong'.
In 2015 Jayden and his wife Morgan bought a plot of land and started the Jayden Ong label for wines from their home-grown fruit. As he puts it, "Jayden Ong wines are the wines we grow (100% control on all farming, dry grown, high altitude, organic at a minimum), make & bottle and come from Chestnut Hill (300m asl) and our home vineyard Forest Garden (700m asl)". This is early days for this vineyard, but the first efforts look extremely promising.
