TASTING NOTES:

Grapes for this wine were sourced from a careful selection of low interventionist vineyards across the stunning McLaren Vale region. From Blewitt Springs and Seaview in the North through to Willunga and on to Sellicks Hill in the South. This range of sites varies greatly in soil, aspect, and age of vine to create a wine of complexity that reflects the true, rich character of McLaren Vale Shiraz. After the grapes were crushed and fermented, the finished ferments were pressed separately using a restored wooden basket press and allowed to mature in new and aged French oak puncheons and hogsheads for 12 to14 months before the final fun stage of assemblage and blending. The resultant wine is a synergistic sum of the various components and has been gently crafted without the use of any animal products. The wine is deep purple with magenta hues in color with dark cherry, rich chocolate, and spice aromas predominating on the nose. Intense chocolate and licorice characters fill the mouth whilst lingering tannins leave you longing for more.
