Winemaker's Notes

Vineyard Conditions 2021:
McLaren Vale enjoyed healthy yields, bolstered by early February rainfall, and the equal earliest start of vintage on record, triggered by some February heat. This created magnificent ripening conditions from fruit set and flowering through veraison to final ripening. A mild autumn kept sugar levels at bay and furnished excellent quality in the reds, with strong varietal definition, concentrated aromatics and deep colours and tannins. Arguably the best quality vintage so far this century.

The Wine 2021:
We pay homage to the Shiraz grape by using traditional wine making techniques, such as open ferment and basket pressing methods along with American Oak barrel fermentation for minimum 24 months to create an exceptionally standout wine.

A deep rich red with purple hues in appearance. On the nose Liquorice and poached rhubarb. On the palate sumptuous burst of fruit cake, blackberry, blackcurrant, dark chocolate and cherry on the palate. With fruity spice, hints of pepper it’s Christmas puddling in a glass!
