Generous spice and savoury aromas on a palate of dark plum, cherries, earthy notes and a little pucker-up tannin on the finish.
The 2017 vintage began with the traditional late start and finished off with a very even steady ripening. Victoria received average or above average rains through the 2016 Winter and Spring. The good winter rains continued through Spring and the grapevines responded, growing vivid green canopies and setting good crop levels. Spring is usually temperamental and it was definitely that this year, temperatures bounced up and down, there were many ‘four seasons in a day’ events, and warmish rainy days. Summer seemed transient but in March there were three balmy weeks of low 30 degree temperatures and warm nights. The fine weather continued through April which assisted with picking times. Vintage was in two parts, the first produced wines with bright fruit and elegance, with later fruit having increased concentration and richness
Highly Rated James Halliday Wine Companion
Ripe, forward fruit - poached plums, mulberry, earth plus some vanilla/oak notes. Its generous, earthy and red fruited, with grainy tannins leading to a soft finish.
Highly Rated Winestate Magazine
“Oak dominated wine with good cellaring potential. Has a toasty cherry bouquet and very long savoury palate with long finish.”
