Tasting Notes

Aroma

Aromatics that jump out of the glass. Pure fruited aromas of redcurrant and spicy plum.

Appearance

Beautifully intense purple colour.

Palate

A palate with fresh acidity keeping the wine lively and vibrant. A slight rasp of powdery tannin with a herbal element provide a good palate length.

Vinification

15% of the fruit was kept as whole bunches with the balance of fruit being destemmed with whole berries fermented to dryness and pressed directly to a 2,800L seasoned French foudre along with a stainless-steel tank. The wine remained on full ex-press lees where it matured until bottling in May 2025.

Food Matching

Roasted capsicum with orecchiette pasta.

Region Notes

Fruit sourced from two sites - the Lopresti vineyard in the Willunga foothills area of McLaren Vale and the Petrucci vineyard in central McLaren Vale.

    Notes of smoked meats suggest a touch of reduction, mixed with black cherry and rosemary aromas. The palate continues with subtle smoky notes and a lovely core of articulate black plums, dark red berries and sour cherries. The core is buoyant and fleshy, framed by silty tannins that quietly command the direction to the finish. A very good nero that will appeal to many. Points: 91/100

    From two sites, with the fruit destemmed and, interestingly, fermented with a handful of grenache stems, followed by a short élevage in seasoned oak and tank. Black cherry, spiced plum, cocoa, kirsch. Like a blackforest cake, but without the pomp and richness. Rather, it has a savoury, mid-weighted feel to the juicy fruits, with some sarsaparilla notes detailing further. Nicely done. Points: 92/100
