Winemaking Notes
Sourced from several vineyards from 3 sub regions of McLaren Vale (Seaview, Blewitt Springs and Clarendon), resulting in complexity in blending. Each parcel was harvested and fermented separately on skins for 7-10 days.
Once fermented to dryness, fruit was presed off skins and transferred to a combination of new, second and third use French oak barrels. We want to see the perfurme, the vibrancy and the bright fruit characters come to the fore.
Ageing Potential
This wine drinks well young, but will be at its peak in 5-7 years.

Review
96 points - Deep crimson colour. Licorice, leather. Dark chocolate and plum rush out of the glass the moment it's swirled. It's medium- to full-bodied, yet fresh, the finish long and lively. This wine has it both ways, pulsating with layers of juicy berries". Drink to 2041. - James Halliday, The Australian
