Blood red in colour with a nose bursting with ripe plums, dark berries and hints of forest floor. The palate is fruit-driven with a core of supple red berry and cherry flavours highlighted by smoky spice complexity. Bright acidity and fine tannins provide definition to the long finish. Perfect with game dishes or mushroom risotto.

2019 was challenging and hot in the South of Australia. The season started at a cracking pace with a hot and early summer that reduced yields. A dry winter was followed by a cool spring before a number of exceptionally hot days prior to vintage. Subsequently yields were down but the quality remained excellent.
