Purple to magenta in colour with a crimson hue. Intense rich dark fruit aromatics plum, pepper and secondary notes of leather and oak. Fresh and vibrant the intensity of the fruit prevails with plum, sarsaparilla and black pepper notes all playing roles with some leather saddle and oak. A fine bead combines with the bright juicy fruit and spicy notes to balance the sweetness and tannin structure.

Sourced from premium vineyards located in Great Western which forms part of the Grampians wine region one of Australia’s most highly regarded and oldest grape growing regions. Hand selected fruit was picked and transported to the winery for crushing and fermentation on skins. We selected the finest base wine for maturation with oak influence and the use of liqueur de tirage brought on secondary fermentation in tank where it was held under pressure for six weeks prior to final dosage, filtering, and bottling. Will drink well now although will age well and develop more complexity over the next 5 years plus.
