"Good line; light- to medium-bodied, with fresh juicy red grape flavours and fine tannins in support; minimal oak, but a long finish." - James Halliday.
The fruit from 50 year old Mclaren Vale Grenache and Shiraz vines is blended into the Mediterranean style to create a luscious full flavoured wine. Aromas of cassis combine with earthy tones and hints of black pepper while the palate is full of roasted coffee flavours with a touch of plum. The wine displays a supple and smooth texture with moderately intense tannins and a soft confectionery finish.
McLaren Vale's climate is defined by the region's proximity to the sea and is distinctly Meditteranean. The vines of McLaren Vale bask in sunlight and are gently cooled by late afternoon sea breezes off the Gulf of St Vincent and gully winds rolling down the lower ranges.
The region's rich tapestry of soils veer from red soil over limestone near the Gulf St Vincent to ironstone in the heart of the Vale. The cooler regions of McLaren Vale produce highly aromatic fruit. The vineyards planted on the coastal basin yield full-flavoured, firmly structured fruit.
