region

McLaren Vale

colour

nose

The wine displays enticing layers of red plum and black cherry and then mocha coffee and subtle vanilla and spice.

palate

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.

oak maturation

A small portion of the juice was transferred to new French oak for barrel fermentation to add breadth and diversity to the palate although the wine was not matured in oak.

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.

cellaring notes

Crafted for immediate enjoyment but will cellar over a long term under ideal conditions.
