Intensely perfumed aromas of raspberry, blackberry, black plum, violets and almond blossom, with nuances of bay leaf, vanilla pod, black pepper and dried herbs.

Matured in 20% new French oak hogsheads, and 80% seasoned French and American oak hogsheads for 20 months prior to blending and bottling.

Appearance

Deep crimson with ruby hues.

Palate

The palate leads with dark forest fruits, supported by baking spice, sage and Dutch cocoa, balanced by fine-grained tannins and refreshing acidity for a long, lingering finish.

Vintage Notes

Above average 2021 winter rainfall helped to refill soil profiles and the cool, slow start to the growing season resulted in budburst occurring slightly later than average. A frost event occurred on 11 October, followed by an extreme hail event on 28 October, and the cold and wet weather in mid-November coincided with flowering, which impacted fruit-set and potential yields. December and January provided a burst of summer heat, however at the beginning of vintage another severe weather event dealt a deluge of rain and even more hail to some parts of the region. While mild and dry conditions followed, the cumulative impacts of the season's weather events resulted in lower yields across the region. The 2022 wines show great aromatics, balance of acidity and a bright core of flavour.

    A blend of Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. This is right up there with any previous releases under this label. The oak has been well chosen to suit the fruit. It’s 20% new French and an 80% mix of seasoned French and American oak. Bright, plummy, raspberry-like fruit with a little blackberry complexity on the nose. The palate is medium bodied and elegantly structured, displaying a vibrant fruit energy and purity supported by fine chalky tannins. Impressive wine from an excellent vintage. Points: 95/100
