Deep intense red with purple hues in the glass with fresh lifted ripe dark berry and spicy fruit aromas with some herb notes balance with some oak. A full bodied palate follows showing fresh lively dark fruits of black currants, herbs and balanced with some subdued spicy integrated oak.

Selected premium vineyards experienced ideal growing conditions producing wines of high sugar and flavours. Cool nights providing ideal harvesting conditions. The grapes were picked at night, between 13.5 to 14.0 Baume to produce the fruit flavours that are required to make this great wine. The grapes were then fermented in an array of vessels to produce different wines styles. A portion of the wine matured in 1 year and older French and American barrels for 6 months where the other portion was kept cool to preserve fresh fruity flavours. Once ferment was complete the winemaker, John Quarisa, carried out careful tasting and blending to produce a finished product a rich wine of style, great value for money.

Food Pairing: Excellent partner to all types of red meats especially a juicy steak with red onion jam.
