Growing Conditions

Another exceptional vintage from the premium, southern grape growing regions of Western Australia. Winter rainfall was close to the long term average. The growing and ripening seasons, while largely warm and dry were punctuated with rains and windy conditions that did affect set and subsequent yields in many varieties. Warm, dry weather from late summer to mid- autumn delivered even ripening for the harvest. This mild end to the season allowed all varieties to ripen perfectly with high natural acidity, fine fruit structure and silky tannins.

Nose

Expansive aromas of poached dark-fleshed plums, blueberry muffins, star anise, violets and mocha.

Palate

Reminiscent of pane forte, an exotic mix of plump ripe fruit flavours, hints of pepper and ginger spice, chewy tannins and rich palate texture.

Appearance

Vibrant dark raspberry.
