Our wine is dark red with a youthful and luminous scarlet hue. The full flavoured palate has an imposing presence displaying complex bramble fruit, dark chocolate and a firm, but fine tannin structure. A wine of great length and flavour, complex, and perfectly balanced ensuring a long future with years of life ahead.
Tasting Notes
The fruit was hand-picked, sorted, and destemmed into small open-top fermenters. The fermentation was carried out with indigenous yeasts and lasted for a period of eight to ten days. The resulting wine was then gently pressed off skins using a basket press and completed malolactic fermentation in French oak barriques. Following 16 months of maturation, the wine was blended and bottled showing distinctive regional dark fruit and spice characters.

Halliday Companion Mike Bennie 07 August 2024
"...Very seductive to drink, palate-staining and generous yet with a sense of restraint. To be applauded and drunk with gusto."
