5 out of 5 Customer Rating
The aromas flow through to the palate with rich dark berry and brooding stone fruit notes. Maturation in oak gives some savoury characters, a slight earthiness, and soft, drying tannins which all meld together to form a long, lingering sensation. A balanced and approachable wine to enjoy now or cellar for the next 5-10 years.

Overview

The fruit for this wine comes from two vineyards in the southern part of the renowned Coonawarra region. This area has a long ripening period, enabling the development of great varietal flavours and intensity. Initial fermentation occurred in small traditional 10-tonne open vats for 10 days. The wine was then pressed off and sent to new French oak hogsheads where it underwent secondary malo-lactic fermentation before being clarified. The final step was to mature the wine for a further 16 months in oak before bottling.
