Intense black-stone, coal-smoke, tar and asphalt aromas with abundant dark plums, blackberries and hints of spiced chocolate. The palate has a deeply defined and detailed feel with a long, chiseled-tannin core that really extends full and fleshy into the ripe, rich finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Deep red/purple colour, with a smoky, slightly cooked fruit aromas - without loss of vitality - the palate rich and deep, ample-bodied, rounded and harmonious. The wine is beautifully rounded and has terrific line. It lingers on and on. Soft tannins and black fruits. A totally satisfying glass of full-bodied shiraz. (From the Moppa hills. 20% whole-bunch; 30% new oak. Barrique aged) 24 APR 2019 Drink 2019–2034

The soils are red clays with mixed ironstone and quartz, the vineyard with a perfect easterly slope. Open-fermented with 20% skin retention, 2 weeks on skins, matured in French barriques (33% new), 200 dozen made. Deep crimson; superb mouthfeel and varietal expression are anchored by red and black cherry fruit. Medium to full-bodied, but not heavy.
