Complex aromas of white pepper, fennel seed and freshly cut red fruits. The alluring sweetness reveals itself fully albeit integrated with the wines, spicy, savoury character and beautiful tight but silky tannins.
Single vineyard wine from Murrumbateman. 35% whole bunch, 12 months in French barriques, 35% new. A beautifully balanced cool climate shiraz, with restrained, perfumed fruit, abundant peppery spice, and high quality oak adding a perfectly in-tune cedary note. It takes time to open up, but the satiny texture and slightly tart berry flavours are compelling. (Steve Creber)
