Colour: Intense dark red.
Aroma: Enticing ripe fruit and blueberries, with hints of anise.
Palate: Full bodied, with sweet oak tannins plus ripe fruit doused in molten liquorice and mint chocolate. Glossy and syrupy across the palate with a lingering finish.
Winemaking: A winter with average rainfall was followed by a not so typical Spring. Spring being very dry and one of Coonawarra’s warmest, advancing flowering by 2 weeks. Fortunately the warm and dry flowering promoted a fast and even berry set. This warm flowering provided even maturity at harvest with no green berries.
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 individu-ally in 4.5t open fermenters. The wines were pressed off to barrel to complete primary alcoholic and malolactic fermentation and then initially matured 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: Grilled or roast beef especially served rare or with a pepper sauce.
