"Dry grown, low yielding bush vines from our original Estate Vineyard can be prone to unruly behaviour! However, with great attention to detail these vines deliver an incredible layered wine of depth and power. A truly memorable experience." Coralie Lewis, Senior Winemaker

Ready for enjoyment in its youth, this wine can also be cellared for 10 years and beyond.

91% zinfandel 6% merlot 3% shiraz

Appearance

Deep purple.

Nose

Open and floral aromatics are bright but complex with crunchy black cherries, raspberry coulis, fig, shaved coconut and a touch of lavender. Sweet spices overlay with nutmeg, vanilla pod and star anise.

Palate

The palate opens with a smooth texture and a bright, expansive concentration of black forest fruits, candied orange coated with chocolate, nutmeg persisting and a hint of tobacco. Fine, energized tannins lead to the finish with volume and confidence, an assertive wine!
Pair with spiced lamb and date tagine. Puy lentil and eggplant stew. Classic Tiramisu.
