Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, Merlot, Shiraz, Pinot Noir (in that order)
A very rewarding season in well managed vineyards. spring rain gave us healthy canopies. mild summer days with plentiful warmth and sunshine – thankfully without the heat spikes of warmer vintages and an Indian summer that stretched into April were perfect for ripening late in the season. Small crops with intense flavour, solid natural acidity were hallmarks of the season.
This wine was matured in French oak for 9 months and was minimally fined and filtered. The nose displays lifted spice, cardomon pods, cherry, tar, earth. While the palate reveals rusticity, dusty tannin, black olives, beetroot, fresh red fruit characters, dark chocolate, juicy finish. Enjoy with marinated spare ribs, chargrilled t-bone steak.
