Colour: Intense crimson red.
Aroma: Complex medley of blackberries and dark summer berries, with a touch of fresh mint and tobacco leaf.
Palate: Dense dark fruits with brilliantly aromatics of raspberries and plums, dark chocolate and vanilla bean. Full bodied with lovely tannins, complemented by well-balanced French oak and a wonderfully long structured finish.
Winemaking: Quite a wet winter was followed by intense heat mid summer, leading to lower than average yields. This was followed by the longest ripening period in quite a few years, finishing well into May for some varieties.
The selected parcels of ultra-premium fruit from the sub-regions of Race-course and Glenroy were picked in the last week of April, and were fer-mented individually in 4.5t open fermenters. The wines were pressed off to barrel to complete primary alcoholic and malolactic fermentation and ini-tially matured separately for 18 months. Primary blending and a further 22 months of maturation have allowed the individual components to harmo-nise into a balanced yet powerful wine.
Cellaring: With careful cellaring, this wine will gracefully age for the next 15 years.
Food matching: Wood fired goat shoulder marinated in Baharat (Lebanese seven spice), garlic, and preserved lemon.
