The intense violet colour of this wine reflects a season that was excellent for Shiraz. Blueberry and stewed plum fruits are surrounded by pepper, clove and liquorice spices. The best characteristic of this wine is the generuos palate with layered concentration and chalky tannins. The balance is harmonous.

A wonderful example of cool climate Shiraz with a rich, fresh, dark‐ plum colour. On the nose the prominent white pepper tones are elegantly mingled with dark red berry fruit. These primary aromas are lovingly enveloped by hints of leather and smokiness which derive from the wines maturation in barrel. On the palate one realises the integration of all the flavours and aromas, with white pepper and red berry fruits remaining the driving force, complimented by hints of clove and cigar box.
