Nose
A wonderfully elegant yet flavorsome
wine bursting with red and black currants, cherry plum fruit leather
with subtle
undertones of
violet, aniseed and subtle cigar box aromas.
Palate
The palate infuses
with elegant spicy
oak
that
flood the senses
with the s
ilky smooth, fine-
grained
tannins
reinforcing
pal
ate length and wine longevity.
Growing Conditions
Another
sublime
season for the Margaret River wine region! The
growing
season was warm and dry following
a winter which had rainfall returning to
long term average levels. The
dry spring
ensured
a successful
flowering period
durin
g November and December
resulting in
good fruit set resulting in higher
than average crops. Hot weather in early March accelerated ripening but
temperatures moderated leading
to a long ripening period during March and
April which was near to perfect.
Harvest
Predominantly grapes handpicked.
Bottling
17th
December
