Nose

Spice, plum and licorice with subtle vanillin hints.

Palate

Plum, licorice and spice flavours, mouth-filling, dusty tannins and a pleasantly persistent finish.

Growing Conditions

In 2013, above average rainfall and moderate temperatures in the lead up to vintage provided a good start to the growing season. Dry weather and moderate maximum temperatures throughout the harvesting period have resulted in an extended and even ripening process fruit of exceptional quality.

Winemaking

Produced in traditional open pot fermenters and matured in French and American oak barriques for 20 months – an elegantly structured wine with medium to long term cellaring potential.

Appearance

Deep red with purple hues.
