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.
