A combination of juicy red fruit, acidity and spice with a subtle herbal edge and good tannin structure. The Cab Sauv brings tannins and a varietal savoury side to the blend. The Shiraz had two different pick dates - one on the early side for freshness and acidty, and one a bit later for body and richness. Petit Verdot contibutes body, freshness, and a lovely mulberry fruit spectrum, while the pinch of Tannat brings acidity and structure.

WINEMAKER NOTES: Like a good soil profile these diverse varieties and regions of South Australia come together to form a complimentary whole. Wild ferment. Aged in older (3+ year-old) French oak for 12 months. Unfined. Unfitered.
