Colour: Deep intense dark, almost black with a purple hue.
Nose: A bright and intense bouquet burst from the glass delivering a sensory overload. The to be expected intensity of ripe dark red berry fruits along with welcomed blueberry, leave nothing to the imagination with beautifully complimenting hints of clove spice, bundled in sweet coconut overtones.
Palate: The concentrated fruit gives a great sense of fruit quality with a beautiful, rounded mouth feel. The hallmark depth of flavour and length carry the firm but fine grain tannin experience through the full length of the palate leaving an impression of complete harmony.
This wine is what we believe to be a true representative of Shiraz from our region. As an Estate owned, sustainably grown, single vineyard Shiraz, we have the ability to deliver a world-class wine consistently that is truly at the top of its game. This wine, like our lives, is wonderful in youth, but with patience and development of the wines fruit, along with the integration of the finest of oak this wine will also develop wonderfully.
Potential: 10+ years.
