"Deep, ruby-red with a purple hue, lighter on the rim. The nose is softly full and open, packed with aromas of bramble and spice. Medium-full bodied, aromas of ripe bramble melded with a hint of meaty nuance, dark cocoa and spice. Lively acidity carries a soft tannin structure and lingers with oak spice and meaty nuance to a dry finish. This classic Shiraz has a smooth palate, generous succulent bramble, and a fine tannin framework. Match with lamb ribs and barbeque meat over the next 3 years" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Wine Reviews, Feb 2023

Deep ruby with a narrow purple rim. Pronounced aromas of blackberries, cherries, mocha and chocolate. Rich, ripe and generous black fruits, complementary mocha oak, velvety tannins and a long, lingering finish.

The 2021 vintage was farily mild, with a warm Summer and ample sunshine ensuring full, ripe fruit flavours to develop.
