As black as the ace of spades. Phenomenally expressive nose exhibiting dark fruit elements, mocha, chocolate, licorice, gentle spicy character and oak nuances.
The palate is quite velvety in texture, with amazing fruit concentration featuring plum, chocolate, licorice with a touch of spice, perfectly interwoven oak and the perfect level of tannin to make it linger.
This wine exhibits true harmony and all elements work seamlessly to create something truly special.
Fruit was sourced from several well-known growers in the McLaren Vale region of South Australia from what the collective described as one of the finest vintages in recent times.
The different sites allowed us to pick the fruit over a longer period than usual allowing each vineyard to develop differing characters to compliment each other and also allowed us at the winery to treat the parcels individually in small ferments with longer than usual skin contact, which is always ideal. The result is an outstanding wine with obvious time and care taken with it throughout the vinification process.
This wine was fermented warm and received pump overs on a daily basis during fermentation. Aged in both new and old oak to add another level of complexity without over powering the fruit.
