Great now as a baby, and will be amazing when she grows up!
The well balanced bouquet offers a mix of red cherry, plum and fig aromas. The medium bodied palate has silky smooth texture, the core of concentrated red cherry and plum accompanied by notes of white pepper and tar. The wine is carried by zesty acidity to a long conclusion.
Awards and Accolades

92 Points - James Halliday, Wine Companion "Good colour; attractive sangiovese, all the cherries present and correct, as are spicy nuances linked with tannins; the oak handling has been assured, a feature of all the '15 Mount Avoca reds."
From the Winery
Sourced from 15 years old vines planted on limestone and sandy gravel, located on the northern slopes of the Pyrenees ranges at 300 metres. The grapes were machine harvested in mid-April, crushed, de-stemmed and pressed into stainless tank. Fermentation took place over 17 days with selected yeast, and then transferred into French and American oak barrels (three and four years old). The wine was kept on lees contact for a further three months. Finally after five months the wine was racked, stabilised and prepared for bottling.
