Tasting Notes
Vibrant purple with a purple red hue. Luscious fruit aromatics leap from the glass blackberry, dark cherry and plums, with hints of black olive and pepper and the slightest fleck of oak framing it all. The palate is pure fruited with blackcurrant, plum and red currants and an element of spice adding complexity. Bright acidity and fine, long tannins are supportive of the fruit. Layered and textured with both poise and presence.
Vineyard Notes
This wine was sourced from the north-facing Oakridge vineyard sited in the grey alluvial loams of Coldstream.
Winemaker's Notes
A traditional winemaking approach was used to produce this wine – whole berry fermentation in open vessels followed by 15 months maturation in French oak puncheons.
Vintage Notes
A warm, wet spring followed a dry summer and autumn has delivered good crops in near perfect harvesting conditions resulting in strong varietal characters and fine persistent acidities.
