Vintage:

2018 was an ideal vintage in Coonawarra. Good rainfall in the leadup to harvest, followed by a warmer and drier season than usual, produced outstanding Merlot fruit with rich colour and flavour.

Oak Maturation: Maturation of select parcels for 18 months in a combination of new and used French and American oak barrels, adding complexity and suppleness.

Colour: Deep plum

Nose: An enticing array of rich fruit and oak aromas. Savoury plum and dark cherry with hints of sweet spice and vanillin oak.

Palate: A vibrantly layered palate of plum, cherry and sweet spice enhanced by elegant oak notes and smooth, fine tannins.

Food Matching: Coq a vin, Pan seared five spice duck, 

BBQ steak with blue cheese sauce, or grilled mushroom burgers.

Cellaring Potential: Will age gracefully for 15 years.
