Nose

Dark plum and cassis fruit flavour abounds with dark almond chocolate and subtle garden herb in support.

Palate

Rich, chocolatey and dark fruited, this wine is a classic and heart-warmingly familiar wine from some of our best and older sites of North-East Victoria. Here the warm days and moderate nights deliver powerful and ripe fruit flavours and with time spent in quality French Oak delivers mouth-filling flavours that are perfect for a winter meal or summer barbecue.

Background

A cool start to the growing season with plenty of rain events throughout Spring ensuring vine health and vitality was optimised. Although the average Summer temperature was higher than normal, the region didn't experience any extreme heat days. The late start and the warm days delivered exceptionally complex, intensely flavoured berries whilst maintaining a fine natural acidity in most cases. Tannins and flavours achieved optimum ripeness and this should be considered a very good year.
