Wine Analysis

Ale/Vol: 14.0%, Acidity: 6.3g/L, pH: 3.5

Tasting Note

Vibrant, deep magenta. Aromas of freshly crushed mulberries and black berries are supported by hints of cashew oak and chocolate earth. Bright summer berries are sculpted by the moreish tannins and acidity of the wine. The promise of the nose flows through the palate and lingers. This medium-full bodied Shiraz is enticing in its youth but will age gracefully with careful cellaring.

Tasting Note

Garnet coloured. The pretty primary aromas of blackcurrant and violet petals are highlighted with notes of mineral talc and cedar. The linear and structured palate is typical of cabernet sauvignon, with chewy tannin and chocolate elements supporting the long blackberry flavours. Fresh acidity complements the long, sweet fruit finish, resulting in a wine with immediate appeal and varietal presence.
