Crimson red and bright lush purple. Ripe cassis and blackberry on the nose integrated with red cedar, nutmeg and cinnamon. Wonderful structure and persistence, fine tannins and balanced acidity. The rich flavours of blackberry are evident from start to finish while cinnamon flavour derived from French oak gives another layer of complexity.
Fruit was harvested from a single vineyard on the red terra rossa soils in the heart of Coonawarra. Following on from picking we crushed the fruit and allowed fermentation with some whole berries to enable vibrant and pure fruit flavour to shine. The wine was matured in older French oak for 12 months to allow some subtle oak flavour to invade the highly aromatic and concentrated fruit character and also achieve added length and tannin definition then bottled with minimal fining and filtration.
