TASTING NOTES
APPEARANCE
Vibrant red with purple hues in the glass.

AROMA
Raspberry, cinnamon spice, and red liquorice aromatics jump from the glass and an herbal edge gives great interest.

PALATE
On the palate Satsuma plum, wild strawberry and fine sandal wood dominate with fine tannins giving the wine exemplary length. The palate shows great intensity and concentration without being heavy or cloying. A wine that shows great poise and balance.

FOOD MATCHING
Pan seared duck matches the spice and body of the wine well.

REGION NOTES
All hand-picked fruit from three old vine vineyards – two in the Blewitt Springs sub-region and one in the Onkaparinga Hills sub-region.

CELLARING POTENTIAL
Ready to drink now, but will continue evolving through to 2035.
