Blackberry red with a plum rim.
Exotic aromatic spices are lifted and enticing, complementing the bright fruit notes of red berries and ripe plums. There are notes of fresh cream and wild strawberries with a hint of cocoa powder.
The soft and fresh palate showcases the bright red fruit characters of South Australian Shiraz. Fresh plums, ripe cherries and hints of pomegranate. There is a creamy richness to the palate with textural soft tannins providing a supportive frame for this generous wine.
Winter rainfall was near long-term average, although July was unusually dry. Spring temperatures were generally warmer than average with excellent climactic conditions for budburst and flowering. Summer was cooler than average with no extended heat spells. Summer rainfall was 20% above the long-term average. The generally mild conditions made for an excellent harvest, with shiraz grapes exhibiting textbook varietal character.
