Vivid, red fruits and cherries, layered with earthy undertones, subtle savoury spices, and whispers of forest floor.
Appearance
Ruby with purple hues.
Palate
The medium-bodied palate offers crisp, natural acidity and refined notes of sweet black forest fruits, elegantly framed by fine-grained French oak.
Vintage Notes
This wine is a regional blend of fruit from the Southern
Adelaide Hills (Kuitpo) and Northern Adelaide Hills
(Paracombe).
Fruit was harvested then destemmed (but not crushed)
allowing whole berry fermentation in 2T open fermenters for
10 days and plunged twice daily before being barreled down
to French oak barriques (20% new) for 9 months before
bottling in March 2025.
Food Matching
Confit duck leg.
Winemakers Comments
Our regional wines are a celebration of South Australia's
pedigree cool climate growing regions and the varieties that
thrive under those growing conditions. These wines are made
without compromise, drawing on our exceptional fruit sources
and the skills of our incredibly experienced winemaking team.
The simple objective is the highest quality standards and
exceptional value.
Whilst winemaking artefact plays a significant role in shaping
these wines, the intent is fundamentally about purity and
expression of site.
