Vibrant ripe plum. Dark cherry, raisins, caramel and tar. Rich, luscious palate of blackberry, Christmas cake and peanut brittle. Generous, complex flavours of dark fruits, toffee and vanilla framed by mouth filling tannins and a pleasing, lingering smoky oak finish.

Selected from premium South Australian vineyards. Hot, dry conditions prevailed throughout the 2021 growing season, producing Shiraz and Cabernet of concentrated flavour, soft tannins, and vibrant colour.

Parcels of Shiraz and Cabernet were fermented in small fermenters Tight control over pump over frequency and duration as  well as temperature control (between 20C and 328C) was maintained throughout the fermentation. The various parcels of fruit were pressed off after 8-20 days of fermentation on skins. The resultant wine was first matured for 12 months in traditional wine oak comprising older French and American oak. Following this initial maturation, and ahead of final blending, select parcels were finished in oak barrels that previously held aged rum.

Food Pairing: To complement the ground spice notes and the black fruit sweetness of the wine - Pulled Pork with Cloves and Cinnamon. Cayman Beef. Szechuan Beef. Vegetarian option - Moroccan Chickpea Tagine.
