Vibrant red & blue berry aromas are complemented with subtle spice.
This depth of aroma transitions seamlessly to the medium bodied
wine, with cherry & plum flavour on the palate and a lingering
silky finish.

Cold fermented over 7-10 days with indigenous yeast (wild ferment),
a portion had whole bunches of fruit, closely monitored to ensure the
wine retains its natural fruit expression. Seasoned French oak was
used for selected wine parcels for a period of 9 months. Each barrel
is assessed and then blended to create a wine with lovely aromatics,
depth of flavour, style and balance.
2020 was a very good season with predominantly mild, dry days.
Yields were generally low and this did result in some excellent parcels
of fruit being harvested. Vine-balance was carefully monitored,
resulting in fruit that demonstrates the vibrancy and fruit derived
characters that we strive for in our wines.
Small parcels of outstanding fruit were hand-selected from
a premium cool-climate Fleurieu Peninsula vineyard situated 15
km from the Great Southern Ocean. The soil type is predominantly
sandy loam which provides good drainage. Environmentally friendly
viticulture, low yield and exceptional fruit is an excellent combination
for our winemaking.
