Winemaker:
Matt Thomson, Hamish Clark and Kyle Thompson
Colour:
Dense ruby red.
Aroma:
A powerful and aromatic nose with layers of wild flowers, perfumed violets, blackcurrants, cocoa, vanilla and dark chocolate, along with a hint of freshly roasted coffee beans and dried clay.
Palate:
Concentrated flavours of black cherry, blackcurrant, Kalamata olive, and perfumed wild flowers. An elegant palate with a structure reminiscent of finely powdered cocoa or dense dark chocolate. The finish is long incorporating freshly roasted coffee beans, toasty oak and spice.
Ageing potential:
This wine is drinking beautifully now or with careful cellaring will mature into a more complex wine that can be enjoyed for the next 8 to 10 years or beyond.
