Tasting Notes
Aroma
Vibrant and perfumed aromatics led by dark-fruited notes of satsuma
plum and mulberry, complemented by sweet spices and a very subtle
hint of oak.
Maturation
10 months.
Appearance
Vibrant dark purple.
Palate
Dark forest berries flow through the palate, creating a plush, fruit-
driven wine. Subtle spice notes and vanilla from the careful use of oak
add complexity. A moreish yet supple tannin profile brings the wine
together, delivering a long and balanced finish.
Vinification
Two parcels of Shiraz were harvested for this wine, from the Kyella
(Wilyabrup) and Yallingup Vineyards. The fruit was destemmed into
static fermenters, with whole berries partially undergoing carbonic
maceration during fermentation. The ferments were pumped over
twice daily and pressed after seven days to help maintain fruit
vibrancy. The wine underwent malolactic fermentation in tank and
was then matured for 10 months in older French barriques. No fining
was necessary for this Shiraz.
Cellaring Potential
2-5 years.
Vintage Notes
Following the warm, dry 2024 vintage, winter arrived late, with
welcome August rainfall replenishing soil moisture and restoring vine
health. A strong nutrition programme, irrigation and careful vineyard
management supported healthy canopy growth and successful
flowering, resulting in average yields across all varieties. The 2025
vintage featured a classic Indian summer, with warm days and cool
nights producing vibrant wines of excellent flavour and natural
acidity. Limited Marri blossom led to significant bird pressure, as
silvereyes and other birds sought food in the vineyards, requiring
extensive netting and ongoing management throughout harvest to
protect fruit quality.
