The art of élevage is the skill of blending in the cellar, raising the potential of exceptional grapes to deliver something profound in the bottle. Meticulously blended parcels of wine, and the mystery of specially selected oak barrels deliver intense flavours, complexity and palate length. Élevage wines celebrate our winemaker’s honed skills and years of craftmanship.
A profound Barossan wine. Dark fruit and swirling fruitcake spice aromas lead to smoked meats, cherry liqueur and anise finishing with fine espresso tannins. Exemplary richness and balance, with a complex finish of premium oak.
