Crimson with purple hues at the core
Generous aromatics, equal parts sweet and savoury notes. Each varietal brings something intriguing to the party. Perfumed baking spices abound with raspberry coulis, dark cherry Danish and castor sugar dusting. A hint of bergamot provides an Earl Grey-esque allure. There is a certain plushness to the nose that is enriched by the presence of exotic spice.
Oak derived spice makes its presence felt by way of Hungarian paprika and celery salt. There are layers of flavour, the sweetness of hazelnut chocolate balanced by savoury pan-seared pancetta, sandalwood and salted nori. A fine line of acid and talcy tannins make for a supple and plush mouthfeel.
Winter rainfall was near the long-term average, although July was unusually dry. Spring temperatures were generally warm with excellent climactic conditions for budburst and flowering. Summer was mild with no extended heat spells. Summer rainfall was 20% above the long-term average. Favourable conditions made for an excellent harvest, with shiraz and cabernet sauvignon grapes exhibiting textbook varietal character.
