Tasting Notes
The aromas are of a fruit compote and freshly baked apple and raspberry pie. The longer you leave it, the more you get. Black currants and dark forest fruits are cushioned by soft tannins providing a plush palate with a hint of Christmas spice on the finish. This is ready for enjoyment any time from release.

Vintage
Lower than average crops were the result of a dry flowering season. Temperatures were unusually mild. Harvest began on the 6th of February, with our Shiraz being picked in early March.
A long cool growing season led to excellent phenolic ripeness and intense color and an inviting brightness on the palate.
