Tasting Notes

  • Colour: Deep, inky black-purple with a regal, rich hue. 

  • Nose: Inviting aromas of cassis, dark cherries, and liquorice, layered with cedar, dark chocolate, and a hint of clotted cream.

  • Palate: Plush, mouth-filling blackberries and blackcurrants, balanced by juicy tartness and fine, chewy Cabernet tannins. 

  • Aftertaste / Finish: A lingering, cigar-box character mingles with the fruit — deep, intense, elegant, and very persistent. 

  • Structure: Well-defined “line and length” — balanced acidity, fine-grained tannins, and a long, polished finish.

Production & Ageing
This wine is crafted from prime vineyard blocks in Langhorne Creek and Blewitt Springs (McLaren Vale), combining fruit intensity with coastal finesse. After fermentation, it is matured in seasoned hogsheads (oak) to build texture and depth, with minimal filtration to preserve purity.
