33-154s are the northern-most series in the East 33 Collection. 154s are sourced from three locations in northern New South Wales; Nambucca, Hastings River and Camden Haven. A sharp initial offering and a dry finish unites the 154s and acts as the most obvious similarities between the oysters produced at these locations. That said, the 154s are our most geographically diverse series by distance between farms. This inevitably provides the 154 Series with a wide variety of clear characteristics between locations.
NAMBUCCA
PROFILE
With a sharp vegetal bite and full creamy texture the Nambucca is characterised by having a long, full back palate and dry finish.
HASTINGS RIVER
PROFILE
A sharp yet clean front palate with a rich full flavour; hints of vegetal notes and a dry finish.
CAMDEN HAVEN
PROFILE
A full sharp saline bite with a hint of seaweed and a clean slightly dry finish.
152 SERIES
33-152s are from our locations in the central region of the NSW coastline, including Wallis Lake, Port Stephens and the Manning River. The 152 is where the majority of the oysters from the East 33 Collection are produced, with the greater balance of those coming from our Wallis Lake operation. 152s are truly our oysters for the southern hemisphere summer, as they naturally reach their peak physical condition during the warmer months.
MANNING RIVER
PROFILE
A full sharp saline bite with a hint of seaweed and a clean slightly dry finish.
WALLIS LAKES
PROFILE
Full, rich, round and long with creamy vegetal characteristics and dry finish.
PORT STEPHENS
PROFILE
A sweet full flavour, salty bite and rich long finish.
149 SERIES
33-149s are our southern-most series and perhaps our most unique. The 149 Series comprises of three locations: Wapengo, Pambula and Merimbula. The locations that make up this series are much closer in proximity to one another than those in the 154 or 152 Series. One might assume that this would result in diminished diversity in their characteristics, however nothing could be further from the truth.
LAKE WAPENGO
PROFILE
Rich and full flavoured with raw vegetal notes and a dry tannic finish.
PAMBULA
PROFILE
A clean saline front palate with a creamy mineral finish.
MERIMBULA
PROFILE
A rich full flavour with a smooth iodine finish.
