Taste Description

Taste Description

Nose

Brooding, savoury and complex with dark cherry, Satsuma plum and earthy graphite mineral aromas. Nuances of five spice and anise are interwoven with hints of poached strawberry and subtle French oak.

Flavours and Palate

Medium bodied and layered, a showcase of dark cherry, plum and hints of rhubarb supported by a fine grained and persistent tannin profile. Oak integrates seamlessly with earthy mineral and whole bunch spice adding complexity.

Yarra Valley, Victoria

Cooler than Bordeaux yet warmer than Burgundy, picturesque Yarra Valley is one of Australia's foremost cool-climate wine regions. An easy one-hour’s drive from Melbourne, the area is home to more than 80 cellar doors. In addition to the huge range of wineries, the area boasts superb contemporary restaurants, authentic rustic farms - and luxury overnight accommodation if the sightseeing gets too much! The fertile Yarra Valley soils produce famously elegant and textured Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

Vintage Conditions

A relatively warm start to the growing season with high rainfall, but generally fine conditions during flowering. An unseasonally wet January ensued easing to fine, warm and dry conditions resulting in an early and relatively compressed harvest period. Acid retention was high particularly across the white varieties.
