The grapes are sourced from estate-owned vineyards - predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, blended with Graciano and a little Syrah. The vines are of average age 20 years, planted in sandy / gravel soil. After fermentation in stainless steel for 15 days, the wine is aged for 10 months in French and American oak. It then spends a further 12 months in bottle before release.

Tasting notes

Aromas of ripe dark fruits balanced with savoury capsicum and spicy characters. The palate has sweet, ripe blackberry and plum notes, toasty oak and a touch of pepper and spice. Rich and powerful with velvety tannins and good length.

Food match

Drink with roast pork or chicken dishes, or bean casserole.
