Wine Description
Brooding aromas of cassis, violets and after dinner mints. Underlying sweet liquorice, black olives and dark chocolate are complemented by subtle fresh earthy notes. Soft forest fruits fill the palate that abounds with cassis and light mocha elements. The silky mid-palate is supported by cocoa flavoured tannins and sweet spiced oak.
The fruit for this wine comes from Hazel’s Vineyard which is our southernmost vineyard. Whole berries were transferred by gravity into 5 tonne concrete fermenters. Underwent partial wild fermentation at low temperature. Gentle extraction was carried out with a combination of hand plunging and pump over twice daily. The fruit spent between 7 and 14 days on skins to retain vibrancy and freshness before being transferred to 1-2 years old French oak barriques for 14-months maturation.

Jacopo a native of Soave, Italy graduated from at the Viticulture and Oenology University of Conegliano. He began his career with renowned local producer Inama and then broadened his knowledge by making wine throughout Europe, New Zealand and Australia.
Impressed by the quality of the wines and by the breath-taking beauty of the landscape he permanently settled in Margaret River in 2011.
"I have always been fascinated by wines that are not only delicious but also enriching and inspiring. I believe that great wines are capable of taking you on a journey… they should capture the true essence of the land and the people who farm it."
