Wine Description
Deep red with vibrant purple hues, the 2022 Vintage Bell is leafy and aromatic, opening with blackberry, black olive and dark plum, layered with thyme, sandalwood and roasted coffee bean. The palate is energetic and focused, delivering dark plum, mulberry leaf and earthy savoury spice, with lingering fruit concentration framed by powdery, fine tannins. A confident, expressive McLaren Vale red with depth, drive and polish.
