All winemakers should possess a good fertile imagination if they are to be successful in their craft."
–Max Schubert, Penfolds First Chief Winemaker
Bright cherry red.
A quick swirl and varietal cues leap from the glass. Classic cabernet notes of crushed mulberry leaf and lignified bay leaf. Dusty cocoa powder and woody spices of cassia and star anise. Blackberry and bramble fruits sit comfortably at the riper end of the varietal spectrum. Very enticing.
On the palate a classically varietal rhubarb vibrancy is immediately apparent, supported by a dark fruit flavour profile. Earthy notes balance the sweeter fruits with hints of freshly grated beetroot, fresh mint, summer pudding and whipped cream. Oak derived nuances of cashews and walnuts provide texture, well supported by fine lacy tannins.
The South Australian vintage will be remembered for producing a small harvest of very high-quality grapes. The growing season was challenging with cool conditions for budburst, very windy conditions for flowering and early summer bushfires in the Adelaide Hills. However, the remainder of the summer and following autumn were very dry with optimal conditions for grapes to ripen. While yields were down the overall quality of the harvest was exceptional.
