A medium-bodied palate with red and black berries. Layers of spice, dark plum, cassis and berry fruit adorn the palate - pleasantly held together by fine tannins. Smooth & delicious. 

The 2020 vintage will be one for the ages, with a backdrop of devastating bushfires and ongoing drought in Australia, and the emergence of a global pandemic. Fortunately, our little pocket of the Barossa was spared the destruction of fires and cool ripening conditions offset the impact of drought and earlier hot weather. Yields for 2020 were lowered due to windy conditions during pollination in the previous Spring. February and March were significantly milder in temperature than December and January, ensuring that fruit quality was optimal.

Each varietal is vinified & aged individually in French oak barrels before the final blending process. Grenache adds the spice, Mataro the backbone, savoury edge and fragrance and Shiraz adds the generous mouthfeel, Balance is crucial, each varietal’s contribution is evident, yet nothing competes for your attention.
