On the palate

Medium garnet with crimson hues. Intense and evocative aromas of briary black currant, blackberry, blueberry, Satsuma plum, with lifted notes of sage, bay leaf, crushed flowering herbs, black pepper, anise and hints of cedar. The palate is rich and complex with well-defined blackberry mulberry, red plum and black currant fruit, layered with sage, black pepper and bay leaf, and carried by fine-grained, matured, velvety tannins for an almost endless finish.

A late start to picking and a mild period of ripening finished with the last grapes being picked in mid-May. A wet 2016 winter gave us a good foundation for our predominantly dry-grown vines on their own roots, and a cool, wet and fiercely windy spring followed, with a slightly higher spring rainfall than the Barossa Valley, which delayed flowering, though conditions during set meant that yields were average levels. A mild summer with regular rainfall events followed, which allowed the grapes to reach full physiological maturity. The significant rainfall events largely missed our areas and therefore we harvested the majority of our grapes in healthy conditions. As always, careful hand picking in the vineyard and sorting of grapes as they were processed made sure that quality was not compromised.
