Tasting Notes

Aroma

A compote of dark berries is complimented by fresh fennel, dried bay leaves and cardamom.

Appearance

A deep purple core with a crimson rim transforms to garnet with tim in bottle.

Palate

The fine tannins of the Cabernet Sauvignon surround a core of pure Shiraz fruit. A dense palate is composed of a multitude of dark berries, cherries and plums. The delightfully long finish only adds to the pleasure.

Vinification

Fermented in 1 and 2 tonne open fermenters, hand plunged 3 times daily. Matured for 16 months in 100% new oak hogshead barrels (92% French and 8% American) and matured on lees to maintain fruit profile and animation Bottled unfiltered to ensure minimal intervention with the wines natural characteristics.

Cellaring Potential

A wine that will mature extremely well with long term cellaring through to 2040 and beyond.

Vintage Notes

The 2020 vintage offered us so much in quality, but so little in quantity. The dry year leading up to vintage, 2019 being the driest year on record, was always going to lead to a reduced crop. This was amplified by frost in October affecting flowering. Smaller bunches with smaller berries were then offere the reprieve of a cooler January and February in contrast to the previous year. The result is very low yields, but wonderful quality and character. Shiraz stands out as the quality leader for the vintage, offering extraordinary colour and flavour.
