Margaret River began the growing season with a rain filled soil profile and full catchments. Late spring was mild and windy with a 4 day period of damaging north westerlies during flowering. This common spring weather pattern did affect set and subsequent yields in all varieties. Other than this blustery start, the vintage was uniformly warm to hot and without significant summer rains. With yields below average, the wines produced from the 2013 vintage are full of well-defined varietal fruit flavours, bright acidity and supple tannins.

Poached plums and blueberries well spiced with vanilla, cracked pepper, violets and mocha.

Reminiscent of a freshly baked blue berry muffin with warm supple fruit, gentle caramel and vanilla notes supported by fine guiding tannins. Margaret River in style with its opulent sweet fruit, open weave tannins and all round generosity.

Dark crimson.
