TASTING NOTES

Across South Australia, the 2019-2020 season got off to a good start with below-average but sufficient rainfall to provide decent moisture levels. Heat spikes around Christmas were isolated and the lead-up to harvest was cool allowing for ideal, slow flavor development and very little disease pressure. The small quantities of high-quality fruit produced rich wines with great depth and complexity. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel fermenters, with the wines being tasted every day to monitor extraction and flavour development. Initially, the parcels are kept separate -- then, following vintage, the blend is created and matured on French oak for apporx. 18 months. Fruit and spice from the Shiraz blends with the vibrancy and length of the Cab Sauv.
