Deep, dark ruby
A perfumed, dark fruited and multi-layered Barossa Valley Shiraz. Deep, complex aromas of dark plum, ripe mullberry and confit cherry are overlain with a fine veneer of dried herb, brown cardamom, carbide and fresh leather.
Bright, very deep garnet, black core.
Youthful, full bodied palate, richly tannic, velvety and long. Strong dried black currant and dark cherry flavours on attack are framed with discreet notes wood ash, clove and warm loamy notes. Soft, ripe fruit acids are present but the wine is driven by rich, weighty, mature fruit tannins that deliver texture and freshness.
