This Merlot-based blend grown in the arid, stony soils of the famed Gimblett Gravels has long been a specialty of ours. With perfectly ripened fruit and custom-made concrete fermenters, they have produced a smooth and full-bodied signature style, bursting with flavours of blackcurrant, dried herbs, plums and blackberry. A beautifully complex wine that can be enjoyed now or will age gracefully for several years.
"Deep lustrous crimson. Meaty, complete with lots of tannin but lots of fruit too. Well made and quite firm." - Jancis Robinson
Red meat and game, rich umami vegetarian dishes including tomato based dishes
A bouquet of dried herbs, red cherry, and blackberry with subtle hints of cedar from a period of barrel maturation.
It is soft and generous in nature and can be enjoyed as a youthful wine, but possesses sufficient tannin to age gracefully for many years.
