Black cherry core with ruby highlights.
Coonawarra terra rossa motif... cocoa powder dust, blackboard chalk, white peppercorns. Cool fruits: punnets of mulberries and blueberries.
From the butcher, fresh lamb with rosemary, cold black pudding with pepper and allspice. Sweet notes of black forest clafoutis, cherry ripe chocolate. Enticing.
Structurally impressive. Mouthcoating chalky tannins balanced by cranberry succulence and barely ripe mulberries. Italian herb garden: sage, rosemary, thyme, oregano. Bruschetta with sun-warm freshly picked tomatoes and basil drizzled with extra virgin olive oil.
Succulent moreish acidity and tension. A mouth-watering wine, silky the finish. Deserves food, perfect with game or beef.
Winter and spring rainfall were well below average, in line with the rest of South Australia’s growing regions. Spring was also very cool, inviting a frost event on the 17th of September which affected bud fruitfulness. Cool weather at flowering resulted in low berry numbers per bunch and low average bunch weights. The arrival of summer flipped the narrative with a heatwave moving into the region on the 17th of December. Carefully managed irrigation was crucial to mitigate the heat stress on the vines. Cooler conditions prevailed from January to the completion of harvest. Although yields were down on average, quality was exceptional.
