Harcourt Valley Vineyards sources some excellent fruit grown on these soils and crafts the wine with minimal intervention to reflect the terroir from where it comes. The wine shows a typical deep red hue that you would expect from the region, however the palate delivers something a little more unexpected.
It shows a medium weight with a surprising softness and elegance. The use of French and American oak gives some vanillin characters to the dark fruit flavour of the wine.
93 Points James Halliday Wine Companion
"Medium to full-bodied with red and black berry flavours clipped with both gum leaf and saucy, spicy oak. It's soft, it offers ample flavour, it's generally well balanced and it takes its alcohol in its stride. Ticks in all the main boxes."
