Chief Winemaker Robin Brockett

Varieties  Cabernet Sauvignon 65%, Shiraz 35%

Colour  Bright ruby in colour

Bouquet The nose is complex with ripe blackcurrants, red berries, cherries and plums with spice and a touch of mint rounded out by spicy charry oak.

Palate  A rich and full flavoured wine with sweet fruits of blackcurrants, plums and cherries with smokey cedar in the background. This is complemented with spice, cedery oak and a charry finish.

Cellar The wine has excellent texture and balance and should be enjoyed over the next 3 to 4 years.
