Shiraz 2022
In the glass it’s coloured purple with a dense and dark body. A full-bodied and very aromatic Shiraz showing purple berry fruits, dark chocolate and integrated spices. The palate shows good weight and evenness whilst the fine tannins and integrated acidity drive persistence on the long finish. Perfect with roast lamb and a rich, creamy potato gratin.
Pinot Noir 2022
Medium-dark in colour with a lifted and varietal nose of wild strawberries, fresh plums and cherries. The palate is rich and decadent with smooth cherry and red berried fruit, a beautifully lush mouthfeel matched by fine tannins and soft acidity that provide structure and length. Food match: Braised Octopus with Tomato & Olives, Peking duck pancakes
Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
An exceptional vintage with ideal growing conditions and outstanding quality fruit! A later start to the vintage due to a mild summer facilitating a longer ripening period and a lovely balance in red wines. Dry conditions through summer resulted in small berries and thick skins in reds. Intense aromatics and bold flavours are a characteristic of the 2021 Coonawarra vintage.
