Aromas of ripe dark berry fruits, black currants and plums with mint and varietal leafy notes. The palate is rich and flavoursome, full of plush, dark fruits soft talcy tannins and hints of oak. The wine has generous length and balance, while finishing rich and soft.The palate is plush with flavours balanced by fine, textural tannins.
The 2017 growing seasoned for the Barossa started with a wetter than average winter and spring. This, combined with below average temperatures in December, January and February, resulted in a later harvest than we've seen in many years. With the good soil moisture and cooler temperatures the grapes ripened more slowly, enabling a gradual accumulation of sugars and flavours, producing full flavoured wines which retained their natural acidity and freshness.
After crushing and destemming, the parcels of fruit were fermented separately in traditional style fermenters. The wines were gently pressed, racked and transferred to French, American and Hungarian oak for 12 months maturation before blending and bottling.
93 Point Rated James Halliday
“Dark garnet with light purple hues. Fresh looking and intense. Fresh ripe blackberry and blackcurrant, almost into cassis. Tons of fresh flavour, and chalky crunch tannins to balance the sweet fruit nature. Excellent crowd-pleasing wine.”
