The grapes are sourced from the Wheelwright vineyard, situated in the high country of the picturesque Eden Valley. This vintage was characterized by ideal growing conditions, including average winter rainfall, a cool spring and summer, and timely rainfall around veraison and early March, which eased stress on the dry-grown, old-vine vineyards.
Tasting Notes
Aeoma: Deep crimson hue with plush aromas of Satsuma plum, black cherry, and blackcurrant, complemented by hints of fine spice, sage, coal dust, cedar, violets, dark chocolate, and crushed stone.
Palate: Rich and plush, offering layers of spicy red cherry and red currant, interwoven with anise and vanilla. Balanced acidity provides freshness and poise, leading to a long, fruit-driven finish with elegant, velvety, fine-grained tannins.
Alc: 14.5%
