The season for vintage 2018 in the Clare Valley started with challenging weather events that included spring frosts at budburst and then hot and windy conditions during flowering. The summer brought bushfires and other wild weather; from searing heat to heavy rain and chilly, gusty winds. February saw weather conditions return to normal and a nice fall of rain invigorated the vines prior to harvest. Into March, the weather remained relatively mild and harvest progressed smoothly and steadily. While it was a very tough year for growers, the quality of the fruit was high, which is heartening. Our winemaking team report the wines from this vintage have wonderful colour, powerful concentration and varietal intensity
This is a voluptuous wine with great mid palate expression, layers of flavour and yet great balance. Fresh red berry fruits are cradled across the palate by mocha and vanilla spice flavours from high quality oak. The barrel fermentation results in a wine that has well integrated fruit and oak and harmonious, elegant flavours and a long persistent finish.
