Colour: Vibrant deep red.
Aroma: Enticing ripe plums and brambleberries, with hints of cacao, anise, and dry autumn leaves.
Palate: An opulent and complex palate of plum, ripe cherry and dark chocolate. The seamless oak integration and generous palate weight is complemented by persistent length and fine, chalky tannins.
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 Glenroy and Comaum were picked in the first week of April, and fermented individ-ually in 4.5t open fermenters. The wines were pressed off to barrel to com-plete primary alcoholic and malolactic fermentation and then initially ma-tured separately for 18 months. Primary blending and a further 22 months of maturation have allowed the individual components to harmonise into a balanced yet powerful wine.
Cellaring: With careful cellaring, this wine will gracefully age for the next 15 years.
Food matching: Fire roasted quail with spiced golden vegetable.
