Tasting Notes:

Deep red in colour, the wine displays ripe dark berries including mulberry and blackcurrant, a little chocolate and a hint of cedary French oak. The palate is quite rich but retains a degree of elegance with its balanced acidity. It also has a good depth of juicy, fleshy dark berry fruit held in check by some fine grained tannins.

Technical:

The 2012 vintage was ideal in every respect for the Clare Valley. A cool, wet winter was followed by a mild spring and summer delivering very sound fruit to the winery for vinification. The resultant wines are quite delicious. The grapes for this wine were both machine and hand harvested, transported to the winery, crushed into 4 tonne open fermenters, chilled and cold soaked for approx 4-5 days prior to the natural yeasts kicking in and beginning the ferment. Fermentation was completed within 12 days prior to the wine being pressed and run into new and used French 228L barrels for just on 18months.

93 Points Rated

James Halliday Wine Companion

Deep crimson-purple: combinations of some or all of these varieties have always prospered in the Clare Valley, This ticks the boxes set by those great wines! Deep crimson-purple, red and black berry fruits hold hands, encouraged by ripe tannins….. GREAT VALUE”


90 Points Rated

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2012 Shiraz/Cabernet/Malbec opens with aromas of red currants, cherries and red plums with hints of dried herbs and tree bark. Medium to full-bodied with plenty of vibrant, youthful fruit in the mouth plus a good backbone of chewy tannins and lively acid, finishing long with some herbal suggestions. Drink it now to 2018+."
