Product Tasting Notes

WINEMAKER’S NOTE: Deep purple red colour, the nose is aromatic and lifted with a briar-like quality. The palate is tightly wound with great length of flavour with a nice structured finish and fine natural grape tannins to resolve the finish.

VINTAGE CONDITIONS: A warm start to the vintage was moderated by later rains that cooled the region considerably and saw a vintage of fine and consistent quality fruit.

VINEYARDS: Drawn from our northern Margaret River vineyard, hand-picked from a lyre trellis, a rarity these days.

VINIFICATION: Open fermenters plunged twice daily and irrigated in between times. Run off to barrels at dryness and matured quietly for twelve months before further bottle maturation prior to release.
