The wine has a mouth filling lusciousness, densely packed with generous plum and dark cherry fruit flavours along with subtle floral violet characters and a smack of vanilla underlying the opulent oak expression.

| Vintage Conditions | In McLaren Vale, the conditions leading up to vintage 2019 were dry. These conditions, in combination with a hail event in November and hot weather in January and February resulted in both an overall reduction in harvest yields along with a corresponding increase in fruit flavour profile intensity. |
| Oak Maturation | The wine was matured in a combination of new and older American oak barrels for a period of 6 months before being bottled. |
| Cellaring Notes | Crafted for immediate enjoyment but will cellar over a long term under ideal conditions. |
