Briary, rich mulberry and spice, blue fruits
with choc mocha oak notes.
Appearance
Rich purple with red hues, bursting with
colour.
Palate
Soft, juicy and generous, with rich fruit and
soft, plush tannins.
Vinification
Following harvest, Merlot grapes were fermented in a 9T open
top fermenter at a cool temperature to increase aromatic
retention. Pump-overs occurred daily to express fruit profile and
obtain vibrant colour. All parcels completed malolactic
fermentation in stainless steel before the wine was barrelled
down to a combination of old and new (30%) French oak for
maturation prior to bottling.
Vintage Notes
2025 was a cooler than average growing season with a dry
lead up to harvest. Low yields and an extended ripening
period resulted in bright, fruitful wines.
Food Matching
Any tomato base Pizza.
Winemakers Comments
The cool climate growing conditions of the Limestone Coast
(located in the South-East corner of South Australia), make it
the perfect fruit source for our Limestone Coast Selections.
Cool Climate fruit sourcing ensures the wines have generous
amounts of natural acidity, an underlying theme of freshness
and varietal character, and importantly, a high level of
sophistication and a sense of place. Wines that reflect both
the grape variety as well as the vineyards and sub-districts
they’re grown in.
