palate

The wine displays assertive, mouthfulling flavours of blackcurrant, mint and dark chocolate around a graceful, silky tannin structure and a thoroughly enjoyable long and persistent finish.

oak maturation

Following extended skin contact over a 6 week period, the wine was then matured in high quality, tight grained French oak barrels (a combination of new and 2 to 3 year old) for 16 months before being bottled.

vintage conditions

The season leading up to vintage 2021 in Coonawarra was mild and relatively dry with very stable weather conditions. Dry conditions continued right through summer, although several small rainfall events during were beneficial to the general vine health and soil moisture. These climatic conditions led to long and steady increases in maturity levels, allowing winemakers to pick at optimum levels for ripeness and flavour, and thus having all the hallmarks of an incredible vintage.

cellaring notes

Crafted for immediate enjoyment but will cellar over a long term under ideal conditions.
