Palate
The palate does not hold back, deep, spicy potpourri and abundant tannins will see many years reward.

A warm start to the vintage was moderated by later rains that cooled the region considerably and saw a vintage of fine and consistent quality fruit.
Harvest
Lyre trellis and hand-picked, thirty year old vines.
Winemaking
Conventionally fermented and transferred to about 10% new American Oak and matured for twelve months.

Deep purple in colour.
