Medium crimson with a crimson hue. Displaying true Coonawarra aromatics of ozone, violet and a lovely fresh burst of blueberries and choc mint. The palate is restrained yet complex. Whilst the wine is youthful and structural, there is blueberry, violet and chocolate with lovely fruit flavour and very fine tannins, giving the drinker an insight to the ageability of this wine. With decanting in its youth it is enjoyable as an elegant full bodied red wine.

The growing season leading into the 2017 vintage was one of the wettest on record, setting up the vines well with high soil moisture levels. These conditions were capped off by a cooler than average spring and early summer, which gave the vines a slow, steady growing season. Temperatures returned to average coming into veraison. A long, cool ripening period delayed picking by two to four weeks, but patience was rewarded with the final wines showing lovely flavours and tannins.
