Wine Description
Dark but vibrant and bright magenta. A soft cocoa/mocha character with blackberries, cassis and dark fruits.
Compote of berries, with cedar and nutmeg. A touch of mint and eucalyptus add
complexity and regional typicality.
Medium bodied and elegant. Shiraz fruits upfront, blackberries, red currant
and plums with earthy spices. Ample, yet fine, elegant Cabernet tannins provide good
structure and length and imply longevity.
Elegant and approachable in its youth, this wine will continue to develop over time. It is with time that the true character of these old vines will reveal their true beauty.

Braised Lamb Shanks with Rosemary, or Mushroom Risotto with Truffle Oil.
