The palate is full and supple with vibrant layers of cassis, mulberry and blackberry fruit along with subtle hints of sage, herbs, and a pleasant earthy and savoury depth. The complex palate is framed with polished, fine-grained tannins, a hall mark of the Coonawarra region.

NEW RELEASE: The 2024 Coonawarra vintage was shaped by an unusual mix of early warmth followed by a cool, wet spring, which led to reduced yields but healthy vine growth. A mild ripening period with warm days and cool nights resulted in excellent flavour development and has resulted in wines with intense colour, strong tannin structure, and great aging potential. Overall, it's being hailed as a standout vintage with elegance and depth.

One of 65 wines listed in the 'Excellent' category of the Langton's VI, Classification of Australian wines. The 2017 shows intense colour, vibrant flavours and excellent regional expression.

Palate :: A richly layered palate of dark berry fruits and subtle oak
maturation flavours. Dark plum and black currant fruit highlight the
generous palate structure and are combined with subtle sweet oak
flavours and rich chocolaty notes. Fine lingering tannins complement
the rich fruit flavours.
