Colour: Deep garnet softening at the rim. Nose: Herbs and savoury tones first with dried meat and a superb array of berry fruit following. Palate: Well judged. Tannins are firm but forgiving. A mixed punnet of cherry, cranberry, blackberry with a cinnamon stick on top. Savoury at the back palate offset by the fruit sweetness. Juicy and delicious.

Vineyard: 100% Mataro from the Brini Vineyard in McLaren Vale. Winemaking: Two-a-day pump overs until fermented dry, before the wine spent 15 months in 2nd and 3rd use French Hogsheads. Vegan friendly.
