Cooler climate, softer, feminine Shiraz at it's best. An intensely fragrant wine showing lifted red berry fruits, spice, cold meats and subtle nutty complexity. A touch of Viognier adds an ethereal lift without dominating, enhancing the nose with exotic ginger and floral aromatics. Fleshy, dark berry fruits and warm spice fill the palate, supported by a barely perceptible touch of oak. An evenly textured, silky mouth-feel finishes with fine velvety tannins and a tight acid backbone.

Below average rainfall and warm weather conditions reduced yields and brought on an early, condensed harvest. The cool Adelaide Hills region escaped the worst of the heat and this, coupled with availability of water from good winter rains, allowed fruit to ripen with optimum flavour and good natural acidity.
