Growing Conditions
Good winter and spring rains continued on to our hottest summer on record. Occasional timely thunderstorms offered a few millimetres of wonderful refreshing rain. Vintage began two to three weeks early providing only average yields but exceptional reds.
Nose
Sweet ripe spicy blackberries, blackcurrants and blueberries wrapped in plums and anise with hints of vanilla and cedar.
Palate
Sweet fleshy fruit on the palate, rich mature fruit flavours; soft with velvety textured tannins and a long finish. Distinctive shiraz characters.
Appearance
Very deep crimson in colour.

Rare rump steak with smoked eggplant and roast field mushrooms.
