Tasting Notes
Aroma
Aromas of ripe
mulberry and dark plum are layered with hints of anise, vanilla bean,
cocoa nibs and malted chocolate, creating an inviting and complex
bouquet.
Maturation
Maturation occurred in 14% new French oak
hogsheads for 14 months, the balance in 1 to 8 year old. After maturation
the final blend was lightly fined and unfiltered prior to bottling.
Appearance
2025 Angels’ Share flows from the
bottle with colours of a inky black core,
with magenta rim.
Palate
The palate is densely woven, carrying rich dark fruit flavours
framed by fine tannins and a distinctive ferrous minerality that provides
both character and persistence. While full flavoured and generous, there
is a freshness and firmness to the wine that keeps everything in balance,
leading to a long, mouthwatering finish. Enjoy now for its vibrancy and
richness, or cellar with confidence over the medium term.
Vinification
The fruit was crushed into and fermented in 5, 7 and 10 tonne
open fermenters. During the peak of fermentation the batches received
regular pump overs 2-3 times daily. The average time on skins was 15 days
before being basket pressed.
Range Notes
Every wine in the Picture Series has its own
inspiration, our own take on popular culture.
With some old school polaroid imagery by friend
and photographer Don Brice and a quirky back label
descriptor, the aim is to bring a smile to your face
when you pick up the bottle, reminding you that
wines should be approachable and of course… fun.
Vintage Notes
The 2025 growing season in McLaren Vale was shaped by a combination
of climatic extremes that ultimately produced wines of remarkable
concentration and structure. Above-average rainfall throughout October
and November replenished soil moisture profiles and established healthy
canopies heading into summer. December and January were hotter and
drier than average, accelerating vine development through veraison
and into ripening, resulting in one of the earliest and fastest harvests on
record. Across the region, yields were generally down 10–20% as a result
of the season’s environmental challenges. The resulting wines display
exceptional depth of fruit, concentration and persistence, with powerful
palates, structured tannins and impressive length. The wines of 2025 are
expected to reward extended cellaring, with an additional three to five
years of ageing potential beyond typical expectations.
