Ruby purple with a dark red core. The well-structured palate expresses rich berry fruit highlighted by dark cherry and plum whilst cassis, anise and pepper mingle and intertwine with dark chocolate, blueberry and oak. The tannins although firm are quite subtle providing line and length. Rich red and black fruits with notes of cherry and plum interwoven within a blanket of dark chocolate, oak and spice.
2014 will be remembered for one of the hottest summers recorded in South Australia. The temperature reached 40 degrees or above on 13 occasions. This resulted in lower crops than the average and early ripening. After the heat, a rain event caused the most February rain for 30 years, providing beneficial moisture and berry flavour to develop alongside sugar formation. Following on from picking we crushed the fruit and allowed fermentation with whole berries to enable high levels of natural fruit and acid to combine perfectly which also developed a lovely backbone of tannin. The wine was matured in both new and old oak over an extended period of 2 years then the wine was aged in bottle for a further year.
