Growing Conditions

Grape growing season in Western Australia was affected by the tail end of two cyclonic weather patterns from the North of the state. Extreme rainfall events were experienced in several regions ruining some crops. The reliability of Margaret River as a wine grape region was again demonstrated as the swirling angry rain clouds were seen to pass directly overhead with little or no rain fall. The weather conditions.

Nose

The nose is full and ripe with heady plummy scents and deep dark chocolate. Background cedar from the oak has a slightly charry aroma which adds complexity to a fruit driven nose.

Palate

The palate is full with ripe luscious fruits, plums and cherries combining to give a fleshy sweet middle. The flavour persistence of this wine in its youth is impressive.

Appearance

Dark blood red wine with youthful purple hues.
