A winemaker’s vintage with every scrap of experience tested and measured. Lower than average winter rainfall set up for a dry growing season resulting in dramatically reduced yields. The Adelaide Hills was most effected with some varieties down by 50%. In low yield years acidity is generally good setting the resulting wines up for stability and long lives.

Primary red fruit aromas, backed up by cassia bark, star anise, white pepper and strangely gamay-like florals (no whole bunch used). The palate is loaded with musk and sherbet and those primary red fruit flavours follow through. Youthful and layered with a long salivating finish bolstered by sandy tannins.
