TASTING NOTE
Vintage
Deep violet in the glass, the wine opens with a bouquet of purple florals, boysenberry, and fresh blueberries, underscored by delicate notes of pencil shavings and cacao. On the palate, forest berries lead the charge, joined by a savoury beef jerky meatiness and a subtle lick of granite, reflecting the region’s unique terroir. Fine, silty tannins provide structure, filling out the mid-palate and enhancing the wine’s complexity. The balance between vibrant fruit, savoury elements, and mineral character ensures a refined, lingering finish, showcasing the elegance and depth typical of this Great Southern Shiraz.
