Nose

Wild mulberry, brambles and briar with notes of spice.

Flavours and Palate

The co-fermented Cabernet and Shiraz creates a silky style. Hints of tobacco, tar, fig, stinging nettle and black pepper merge to create a complex wine. Linear fruit and crisp acid is complemented by satin-like tannins with a slightly gravelly finish

“Good colour; a lively, medium-bodied wine with blackberry and blackcurrant fruit crossing swords, mulberry and mint seconds to the combatants. It all works well.” James Halliday

“Deep colour. Fresh dark chocolate, plum, mulberry aromas with herb garden, liquorice notes. Attractive drinking wine with sweet dense dark berry, dark chocolate flavours, plentiful chalky textures, lovely mid-palate richness and underlying mocha, vanilla oak. Finishes graphite dry with inky mineral notes. Harmonious and delicious to drink.” Andrew Caillard MW
