Nose
The wine exhibits ripe cassis, red plums and salted liquorice aromas. High notes of cedary
oak and violet add further complexity and frame this wine’s underlying graphite-like
minerality.
Palate
The palate unfolds in a myriad of layers of red fruit with dark chocolate nuances further
enhanced by subtle sweet oak characters. The long and flavoursome finish is well
supported by powder-fine juicy tannins.
Growing Conditions
The parcels of Shiraz are located on vineyard sites in the northern and north-eastern parts of the
Margaret River wine growing region with these vineyards being in a more temperate climate which is ideal
for the Shiraz varietal. In the lead up to the harvest, the fruit from each block was tasted every 3 days to
ensure the fruit was picked at optimum.
Winemaking
Harvest was done during the coolest part of the night. The cool fruit was then gently transferred to a
fermenter where it was cold soaked to contribute unique aromatics, intense stable colour and a soft
texture in the end wine. At the completion of fermentation, each barrel was pressed separately to tank
before being racked off yeast lees to barrel or tank for maturation. The finished blend was filtered once
before bottling.
Appearance
Deep crimson with vivid purple hues.
Food Pairing
Western Australia lamb with garlic mash.
