Wine Spectator
Star anise, black licorice and chai tea flavors are spicy and robust, with a muscular body and a note of fresh earth. Balanced and focused on the finish, where the tannins firm up.

COLOUR
At release, the wine has a cherry red colour to the centre with a vibrant purple hue to the edges.

NOSE
There is a delicate perfume of Kirsch and dried strawberry with underlying dried bouquet garni.

PALATE
This is a light to medium-bodied wine with a supple yet generously flavoured palate.
The grapes were hand-picked and then quickly transferred to our partner Yarra Valley winery. The fruit was cold soaked for 48 hours prior to being transferred to open pot vessels for fermentation. 80% of the grapes were de-stemmed to leave whole berries whilst the remaining 20% were fermented as whole bunches. The wine was then gently pressed to seasoned French oak hogsheads (30% new) for malolactic fermentation and then matured for a further 9 months before being fined, filtered and bottled.
