Description
"Anything up to 12 vineyards go into this wine. it’s typically a blend of approx. 50/50 Barossa and Eden Valleys. The Barossa Valley provides the engine room for the palate, the Eden Valley components provide the lifted aromatics. Mostly French oak, and mostly 500 litre puncheons to slow down the oak uptake and preserve aromatics. The Barossa’s calling card variety; some people outside of our region think it’s all we do but anyhow…" - Tim Smith
"Deep crimson. Classical choco-berry aromas with panforte notes. Richly flavoured wine with ample dark chocolate, dark berry fruits, plentiful chocolatey tannins and marzipan/cedarwood/touch bourbon new oak notes. Finishes chocolatey firm with a spike of aniseed. Very likeable punter’s wine, rather than a critic’s choice. Drink now or keep, as the elements might fold and integrate further." - 94+ Points, Andrew Caillard MW, The Vintage Journal
