Wine at a Glance
Country: Australia
Region: South Australia
Vintage: 2018
Alcohol: 14.5% ABV

Tasting Profile: From front to back palate, an immediate and gentle softness and freshness. This tactile smoothness/‘creaminess’ invokes an almost velour/felt/velvet/satin mouthfeel. Perhaps ‘custardy/cream sago-like’ tannins and balanced acidity induce this even emulsification? Derived flavours of quince paste and fresh white figs allow a modicum of fruited succulence. Certainly an alternative Shiraz and Mataro palate package!

Region: McLaren Vale, Wrattonbully, Padthaway, Coonawarra, Robe, Barossa Valley and Langhorne Creek.
Vintage: 2018
Alcohol: 14.5% ABV

Tasting Profile: Textured, plush tannins create a neat and tidy framework to house rich blackberry fruit spiced by oak derived vanilla pod. Barrel maturation has added a creamy texture and mouthfeel. Gorgeous perfumed aromatics with fresh mulberries and raspberry compote conjuring thoughts of summer berry pudding. A hint of bay leaf adds a savoury note. Perfumed and lifted.
