A crimson red in colour with purple hues. Aromas of purple flowers such as violets and lavender are combined with blueberries, plums and forest floor aromas to create an appealing nose. The flavours of these aromas are continued on the palate, joined by a hint of allspice and mulberry. A medium bodied wine with plush soft tannins and a bright, juicy and persistent finish. Enjoy with bruschetta pasta or a Swiss brown mushroom burger with caramelised onions.
The grapes for this wine are sourced from four family owned, organically certified vineyards. The Carypides family vineyard located at Virginia in the Adelaide Plains, the Barich family vineyard on the Murray River at Loxton, the Palena family vineyards near Barmera in the Riverland, and the Strachan family vineyard in McLaren Vale.
Good rainfall during July and August replenished the soil moisture. This proved invaluable as spring and summer were particularly dry. Rainfall late in December and again in late January was welcome, refreshing the vines during the growing season and leading into harvest. Following near perfect ripening weather, the Shiraz grapes were harvested in February and March.
James Halliday
"Soft delivery of red licorice, prune, blackberry jube and dry spice flavours. Maybe there's a subtle toastiness in there too. It combines sweetness and savoury spice in a medium-weight package."
Bob Campbell
"Reasonably deep, dense syrah with ripe plum, blackcurrant, liquorice and vanilla flavours. A smooth-textured, fruit-focused red in an appealing and accessible style."
Nick Butler
"Vibrant, pastille purple. Blueberries and purple plums, violets also, aromatics are lifted. Slippery on the palate - a skinsy, sweet glide to it. The back palate shows bitterness, tannins and oak colliding with fruit. Still a value proposition. Drink now."
