Series C 2015 shows great depth of colour and an impressive red-black to the rim. An intriguing nose opens with generous layers of dark fruit, an attractive cassis and French lavender perfume. Finally notes of pencil shavings, cacao and cedar elevates the complexity of this blend. On the palate Series C shows poise, with silky and seamless integration of tannins, refreshing mid-palate acidity with rich fruit and caramelized woody flavours that have great length.

Harvest was very early, two weeks earlier than the previous year, starting on the 30th of January. Conditions leading up to ripening were warm and clear with no exceptionally hot spells - perfect weather. The shorter period from bloom to picking as well as the warm but moderate temperatures meant the berries arrived at the cellar in very good condition with very low rates of discard during individual berry sorting.Wines of the vintage are characterized by higher acidities, leading to great freshness, exceptional colour and seamless core structure. Varietal wines were very expressive and the blend came together in harmony.
