Eden Valley, South Australia |
| Colour: |
Ruby red with violet hue |
| Nose: |
Black cherry, nougat and sweet spices - cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and a touch of tobacco. Some red currant accents add to the lift |
| Palate: |
Black cherries, dried cranberries and green plums from a fresh and fruity base. Cinnamon, mace and cardamom develop on the mid palate and a juicy of morello cherry tartness adds line and length to the wine. A lightly drying 'coffee grind' finish balances the whole package |
| Maturation: |
24 months in French oak, 30% new. |
| Style: |
A full-flavoured red wine that is still fresh, fruity and youthful. This wine will stand up well to a range of strongly flavoured barbeque meats such as steak, lamb and Italian sausages. Alternatively, try it with grilled portobello mushrooms, a strong cheddar or your favourite blue |
| Cellaring Potential: |
Ready to drink now but will reward with a few more years in bottle |
