Winemaker's Notes
The harvest season at the start of 2020 was uncharacteristically quiet, but an excellent harvest provided welcome distraction from outside events. Shiraz performed admirably well with the entire intake of this variety complete in a very well-paced 3 weeks.
Bouquet & Palate
A leather valise filled with whole folios of spice, cranberry and plum. Fresh denim, juicy blueberry, and a titch of cinnamon. Dried violets sharing space with graphite and split stone. Mollases fraternizes with marzipan. Cherry stones splashed with calligraphy ink. Emery tannins shepherd home an intense palate that promises even more and yet better to come.
Food Match
Keep it simple and solid – lamb shanks, and/or roasted and herbed root vegetables.
