The astounding aromatics of this wine never fail to impress. A royal deep purple in the glass, this wine is filled with promise. The nose delivers familiar, yet nuanced, characters of earthiness, star anise, cloves and red chili flakes. In addition, the palate delivers savoury elements, as well as mulberries, black pepper, and lavender. As we have come to expect of the Stone Axe, the tannins are luscious, the acidity mouth-watering, and the finish long. The elegance of this wine is undeniable. Already drinking exceptionally well, another 13 – 15 years will showcase its true potential.

Earthiness

While winter had a late start, it was characterized by good rainfall, leading to an even bud break. A turbulent start to flowering season improved towards the onset of summer. Warmer weather in November contributed to even vineyard growth. A moderate January and February was followed by an initially hot February, while cool and wet conditions dominated from the end of February through March, creating challenging harvest conditions. Despite the wetter than ideal conditions, our microclimate allowed the grapes to achieve ideal ripeness.
