Comes from the 43-year-old Punters Corner Vineyard. As ever, a sure hand, but one with a twist hitherto seldom used in Coonawarra: 30% whole bunch inclusion in the ferment. This has added spice and a singular tannin structure supporting the rich fruit and supple oak. So easy to enjoy.

Very bright fruit with fresh, slightly minty aromas and some background oak, but not as spicy as Coonawarra shiraz can be. There is quite lively acidity. The 30% whole-bunch fermentation component is not obvious. Some pepper in the background. Deliciously juicy. Attractively soft texture. 10 AUG 2018
