COMPLIMENTARY Australia-wide shipping for 12+ bottles | JOIN THE WINE CLUB

Description: Pure fruited with fresh blackberry, blackcurrant and ripe plum, hints of sage, violets and leaf. Uncluttered. The palate is juicy and smooth, with very fine tannins that leave a pleasant powdery aftertaste, adding to the sense of refreshment. Lovely, fruit forward and easy drinking!
Winemaking Notes: Parcels of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot were hand picked and sorted prior to destemming to individual fermenters. The parcels were fermented on skins for 18 days with pump overs and rack and returns conducted for colour and tannin extraction. Parcels were held on skins for an additional 7-14 days before being pressed to French oak barrels for maturation for 8 months before blending and bottling.
Growing Conditions: A cool, long vintage with abundant rainfall and very low cropping levels has resulted in wines of great purity and vibrancy of fruit.
