One of Bremerton's 3 red wine flagbearers, its style as consistent as possible, courtesy of 20 months' maturation in French and American oak, and long-standing estate blocks in a region that imparts its special softness. It delivers a superbly balanced wine, with luscious dark berry fruits at its core, marrying this with quality oak that partners just-so tannins. A wine that will add yet more to its elegance over the decades to come.

Classic Langhorne Creek flavours of sweet black plums, chocolate and coffee grounds, and there's more. It's richly flavoured and full-bodied, but not heavy, more glossy, with cedary oak and plush tannins. Balanced. Complex. Hedonistic.
Bremerton Wines & Bremerton Vineyards are part of the Willson family owned company, Bremerton Vintners Pty Ltd, in the geographical region of Langhorne Creek in South Australia. Langhorne Creek is unique in that it sits on the rich soil of the Bremer River flood plain and is known as a cool climate region, relatively disease free and a producer of exceptionally high and consistent quality fruit. Fresh cool evening breezes from Lake Alexandrina provide a microclimate of mild to warm summer days and cool evenings, perfect for the long ripening of the grapes producing intense and sought after cool climate flavours.
The area was first settled in the 1850’s when Frank Potts, an English shipwright, took up a track of land and planted grapes. The district grew to 450 hectares of vineyard until 1990 when expansion began, taking it to approx. 6000 ha – the second largest grape growing region in South Australia.
