The palate is opulent in the darker fruit range with a touch of particularly attractive black olive. Depth and interest to the palate are aided by mulberry fruit characters which enhance and liven the palate. After 18 months maturation in French oak barriques, the classic cedary/oak flavours are balanced with terra rossa earthiness and add to the fine mid weight Coonawarra tannin structure. This tannin structure is a hallmark of our wines, ensuring the wine is imminently attractive whilst it is young, but has the pedigree to last the years in the cellar.
The growing season for 2021 started with very mild conditions during spring followed by a dry summer. The grapes were small and had thick skins. The mild stable conditions continued throughout the ripening period leading to an extended vintage. Optimal flavour development occurred slowly. A hallmark of this vintage is fresh acidity well balanced with good fruit and tannin profiles.
92 Point Rated - Campbell Mattinson James Halliday Wine companion
"Firm, savoury and curranty. This is a wine for the cellar. Blackcurrant, bay leaf, sweet redcurrant and walnut characters blend with fragrant dry herbs and sweet oak. There's flavour here (and structure) but not a lot of flesh; it will grow in time."
