Description
"A co-fermented 95/5% blend, all from Coonawarra; a portion was oak-matured, the remainder in tank. Notwithstanding this, the price is a mystery given its origin, the co-fermentation and, above all else, its quality. What it lacks in finesse it more than makes up in flavour." Star Rated showing extremely good value for money" James Halliday

Harvested during March and April of 2014 Selected premium vineyards experienced ideal growing conditions producing wines of high sugar and flavours. Cool nights providing ideal harvesting conditions. The different grapes were picked at the following sugar levels to produce the fruit flavours that are required to make this great wine blend. The Shiraz at 14.0 Baume gives the spice and pepper and the Viognier at 13.0 Baume gives the wine a different dimension and complexity. All of the grapes were picked together and fermented in the same tank(Co-fermentation) to help integrate all the flavours. Portion of the wine underwent oak until the right balance was achieved. This wine has the flavour, structure and balance to be enjoyed now or offers added satisfaction from further cellaring.
Food Pairing: Roast rack of lamb or mature hard cheeses.
