Nose

Lifted aromatics of plum, mulberry and blueberry fruit with cedar wood, clove and black pepper spices.

Palate

The palate is rich and layered with succulent fruits, brown spices, violet and tar. A wine of wonderful intensity yet medium to full in weight. Fine tannins and a finishing clip of acidity act in support of the fruitful flavours and help drive a very long finish.

Background

The winter of 2018 was very mild and without any rain at all until the month of June with soils replenished for the pending growing season. The mild conditions continued through Spring and Summer with very little rain but also without significant heat periods. The ripening was even throughout most of the South Australia delivering very high quality with bright fruit flavours and good natural acidity.
