An elegant wine with a classic bouquet of bright cherry fruit and delicate perfumes of violets and a medley of other flowers. The palate has excellent line and length, showing the traditional cherry fruit for which Pinot Noir is known but then flowing into darker fruits.

Grapes are destemmed, softly crushed, and racked by gravity, without the use of mechanical pumps. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats for 15 days, at a controlled temperature of 25-29 °C. The wine is aged in Slavonian oak barrels for 24 months.

This is a classic Barolo, with a medium brick-garnet colour. The wine has aromas of violet, black tea, juniper berry and sandalwood. Those are complemented by fresh notes of eucalyptus and mint, with a juicy sour black cherry finish.

Very appealing colour of bright pale yellow and green tints. A much lower alcohol due to the year and as a result more of the citrus/grassy character than tropical fruit. The Hunter Semillon adds a lemongrass note with some Bickford lime cordial aromas and flavours as well. Part of the blend is fermented in oak and this tends to round out the herbaceous edge that Sauvignon Blanc can sometimes get. A very good acid line and this adds to a loveliness on the finish. Definitely a wine to chill and enjoy in the short term.

A lovely deep red with purple hues on the rim. Being mostly from McLaren Vale there is plenty of dark berry aroma with the sweet oak marrying well. Some spice and Christmas pudding characters as well. The palate is rich and long. Liqueur cherry flavours, some oak. The tannins are quite soft and ripe, nothing ‘firm’ about this wine at all.
