Description
- Red fruit
- Savoury herb
- Warm spice
- Silky tannins
Lovely savoury dry herb and dark earth tones partner with bright red fruits, a hint of citrus and warm spice. Initially restrained, the wine unfolds with energy, focus and layers of complexity. Silky ripe tannins and fine mineral acidity extend throughout the palate. Showing wonderful texture, layers and completeness, we expect this wine to have a cellaring potential of 8-10 years.
A very warm vintage with above average temperatures in December and January. Mid-season conditions were very calm with low wind-run and no significant rainfall, and the season was progressing well ahead of usual timing. Some rain, and then overall milder conditions in February and March meant ripening slowed favourably towards harvest. The 2018 harvest was the earliest to date commencing 13th March, with the late season conditions ensuring lovely ripeness whilst retaining balance and finesse.
