Winemaker Comments
Colour: Lively violet
Nose: A sophisticated nose with fresh eucalypt, spice (clove), lovely dark plum, blackcurrant and black cherry aromas.
Palate: The enticing nose is replicated on the palate which is medium-bodied and very generous. Juicy black and red berry fruit flavours combine with ripe tannins, adding complexity and giving it a harmonious and satisfying finish.
