Winemaker’s Notes
A great start to the year with healthy winter rains followed by a mild spring led to optimism about the up-and-coming harvest. However, as so often with farming, Mother Nature had other plans. On 28th October, a 15-minute hailstorm tore a massive strip of devastation through the Barossa, with crop losses of between 30% to 100% I had to wear earmuffs in the shed to stop my ears from bleeding: it was that loud. After the storm, the remainder of the growing and ripening season was mild to cool, enabling plenty of hang time on the vine for great flavour and colour development. Harvest ran smoothly, starting and finishing later than usual with our Eden Valley Cabernet Sauvignon picked in early May. It’s another cracking cooler vintage.

Tasting Note

Delicious, rich aroma of Satsuma plum and Raspberry fill the bouquet with hints of liquorice, savoury notes and sweet spice. Mouth-filling juicy fruit lives up to the aroma and is balanced nicely with subtle oak, sweet and peppery spice and youthful, firm tannins. The palate is medium to full-bodied with a velvety, fruity and spicy finish.
