Tasting Notes
Aroma
Bright dark berry fruit and lifted spice dominate the aromas, with subtle supporting French oak.
Maturation
Remained in barrel for a total of 12 months (100% French oak, 500L hogsheads) and during maturation was racked three times.
Palate
The palate is plush and silky, loaded with dark fruited shiraz intensity. Fine structure and excellent concentration.
Vinification
The grapes were fermented in a combination of open fermenters both oak and stainless steel, with up to three weeks total time on skins. There were 7 individual batches, with a couple of those receiving whole bunches. The wines were then pressed and transferred immediately into barrels for malolactic fermentation.
Vintage Notes
The 2023 Vintage brought ‘La Nina’ weather conditions for the third year in a row. Spring saw more rainfall and cooler conditions followed by a mild summer. This provided a fine and extended season for optimum physiological ripening of fruit.
