Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
A richly layered palate of dark berry fruits with well integrated oak maturation flavours of cedar, dark chocolate and spice. A long, lingering finish with soft, fine grained tannins.
Vineyard Notes
Vintage 2017 was a return to a more traditional Coonawarra vintage with a cool growing season and long, mild summer. Harvest was later then in recent years; ideal conditions in the lead up produced outstanding Cabernet Sauvignon fruit with intense colour, vibrant flavours and excellent regional expression.
Winemaker Notes
Selected parcels from the total blend were matured for an average of seven months in predominantly older French oak barriques (81%), adding complexity and suppleness.
Food Pairing Notes
Roast leg of lamb with garlic and rosemary, Moroccan beef tagine with prunes or some aged cheddar cheese.
