Designated from 'Barossa' and is a blend of Eden Valley and Barossa Valley fruit, old vine material, of course. The wine sees time in old and new oak, and fruit is sourced for being 'exceptional' during the sorting process.

At first I just enjoyed the silky texture, fine ripples of satiny fruit with a tight thread of lacy tannin holding the wine together in its svelte shape. Fruit is perfumed, floral and pretty with a come-hither savouriness underlying. With time the wine shows its mettle " more power than you expect, layers of lacework-like complexity and a freshness that whips the palate clean through the finish with very fine, wet-pebble-like minerality. Composed and elegant, a superior kind of craftsmanship at play. Very good.

Very sweet choc berry fruit. Very luscious and open and vital if very sweet, concentrated berry juice. Lots of fruit viscosity.. Impressive concentration and certainly quality making.
