Colour 
Deep red.

Bouquet
Mediterranean notes of savoury ratatouille, sundried tomato, olive tapenade, Moroccan spices and charcoal roasted roast game. Balancing the savoury notes are aromatic blueberries, exotic red fruits, perfumed cranberry and fresh pomegranate.

Palate
A delightfully complex amalgam of savoury green olives, pepperoni with a hint of sweet/salty Dutch liquorice. Soft blue fruits to the fore with textured tannins providing grip. An expansive palate gives this wine generosity and presence.

Tasting Notes

Colour 
Deep red

Bouquet
Much more than a first-wave impression of blackcurrant/cassis cabernet-driven aromatics...

- A second of chive, mustard spice, beeswax, lemon/honey tea and thyme flowers.

- A third of cherry-wood, sarsaparilla, aniseed.

- A fourth of wet cold steel and a wet peppercorn tree. All four unlocked, unravelled and liberated via time and air.

Palate
Full and rich. A custom-fitted generous mid-palate – mandated for this marque. Flavours of a platter of charcuterie meats, pastrami dominating. Also vying for taste and textural attention – pomegranate, cranberry, Madagascan vanilla pod, liquorice straps. This wine’s youthful profile tempered by softened and even tannins – from start to finish. And the judicious use of new oak.

Tasting Notes

Colour 
Bright crimson red.

Bouquet
Redemptive cabernet markers - cassis and violet aromas … authenticating a South Australian birthplace! Upon sitting – almost a powdery sprinkling of ‘soot/coal dust’. And, consistent to this theme – dusty oak!

Palate
Familial kirsch and tomato puree cabernet flavours underpinned by a pan-jus meatiness, cola.
Beneath – a vinous slurry… sharpening-stone replete with oil, graphite/ironstone?!
Sleek, elongated tannins (not grippy) align with judicious oak to convey flavours completely and effortlessly across palate.

When to drink
Drinking well, but will improve with time. Peak drinking window now - 2028.

Tasting Notes

Colour 
Dark red with crimson hues.

Bouquet
Pink peppercorn, chargrilled zucchini and barbequed red meats is the instant perfume. Cedar and lavender incense waft in the background.

Palate
Taut in texture, fine tannin with a savoury profile. Cranberry represents the red fruit spectrum, with lingering flavours of yellow plum, bay leaf and sage. Root vegetable earthiness is evident on the finish. Structurally framed by beautifully integrated French and American oak, present but rarely mentioned.

Drinking well, but will improve with time. Peak drinking window now - 2026.

Tasting Notes 
Nose: Vanilla custard generosity and sweet spice combine……nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger. Pastille-like juiciness is suggested on the nose

Palate: Black cherry and blood plum create luscious texture and vibrant energy. Tiramisu creaminess……the coffee, dark and milk chocolate and Italian sweet spice. Tannins appear to assist a silky call-out and provide mid-palate expansion. Gloss and sheen ensure approachability

Tasting Notes

Colour 
Crimson core with magenta brightness at the rim.

Bouquet
A bluestone slatiness and waft of iron filings immediately captures attention, a Cabernet influence/lift. Almond cake sweetness and white chocolate create a web with boysenberry and blue fruit aromatics.

Palate
Structural grip and defined tannins wraps around a palate full of blueberry and mulberry brightness. Black olive and brine-like Nori savouriness add an extra dimension so that fruit doesn’t stand alone.

When to drink
Drinking well, but will improve with time. Peak drinking window now - 2028.
