Tasting Note:
On the palate, it is full-bodied and complex, offering rich flavors of ripe black fruit, black pepper, and hints of chocolate and licorice. The tannins are firm yet smooth, and the wine has a fresh acidity that balances its weight. The finish is long and savory, with a slight touch of oak adding depth.

AROMATICS
Intensely aromatic with dark berry fruits, lifted earthen notes intertwined with subtle Chinese 5 spice and a background of white pepper.
PALATE
The palate has a very pleasant medium-full bodied mouthfeel with alluring rich dark fruits and savoury undertones of dark soy backing up the 5 spice on the nose. Fine tannin and balanced oak handling frame the wine, supporting the generous fruit weight and helping to give great drive on the palate towards a long complex finish.

VINTAGE CONDITIONS
Fruit sourced from our oldest plantings of Shiraz (predominantly Bouverie and Wyjup vineyards) was harvested at night when the fruit is coolest, then transported to the winery. The fruit was destemmed and transferred via the chiller (bringing the must temperature down to 6°C) into open top fermenters for cold soaking. After 4 days the must was allowed to warm up and inoculated with a cultured yeast. The ferment was managed with a
combination of pump overs and plunging, then at completion was pressed to tank, allowed to settle and racked to barrel for maturation.

Is there a Guarantee on my wine?
