Tasting Notes

The aromatics are dominated by brightly lifted red fruits of cranberry, red currants and rhubarb. Scents of freshly sliced cured meats and black olive apenade provide a savoury nuance. Underlying spice is derived from oak maturation, evoking sumac and cardamom. The enticing aromatics are amplified on the palate. Loose-knit and lacy tannins provide structural foundations, with juicy red fruit acidity giving rise to a balanced medium-bodied wine. Further complex savoury characters of roasted celeriac and fresh vegetable consommé create another level of complexity.

      Vintage Notes
      Plentiful winter rainfall prepared the vines for the growing season in South Australia. Prevailing cool conditions defined early spring, initially slowing vine growth. Temperatures gradually warmed in October with vines producing large protective canopies. Very little irrigation was required and shoot thinning helped keep vigour and crop size in check. Vintage was delayed by up to a month in some regions due to weather conditions. Harvest was generally dry favouring fully ripened grapes with well-developed colours and flavours.
