"Youthful and instantly appealing, the bouquet shows blackberry, blueberry compote, cocoa and toasted hazelnut characters, leading to a concentrated palate that displays excellent fruit purity and vibrancy, together with velvety texture and supple tannins. This gorgeous shiraz is up front and generous. At its best: now to 2022." Sam Kim Wine Orbit, March 2017

A smooth, rich palate of damask plum, black cherries and spicy laced blueberries up front draped in sweet charry oak. These primary characters provide fleshy
support through the palate where they meld with subtle traces of chocolate, mocha, rosehip, leather and tobacco leaf, all complimented by a savoury touch of meaty complexity. The finish is long and generous with the charry notes continuing through to embrace the abundant ripe, supple tannins and culminate in the soothing warmth of a pinch of black pepper.

Aromas of pungent stewed plum, blackberry pastille and crushed boysenberries, with brooding wafts of earthy blood and bone, toasty oak and a f aint hint of star anise.

Well suited to grilled lamb chops, a proven winner with venison and pork lasagne or try with a slow cooked brisket of beef.
