Intense perfume reminiscent of blackberries, vanilla and lavender. Luxurious and elegant with a silky mouthfeel, flavours of black pepper, stewed plums and cherries and a lingering soft finish.

Vintage notes

A hot season intensified the flavours of our Shiraz grapes and led to concentrated blackberry and stewed plum characters. A cold soak prior to fermentation and the inclusion of 20% whole bunches in the ferment ensured maximum colour and flavour extraction. Cofermented with 3% viognier, also grown at the Vintner’s vineyard. The wine was plunged daily by hand to extract maximum flavour and colour from the skins. The grapes were pressed in our stainless steel basket press to a mixture of old and new French oak barrels and allowed to mature for 14 months.
