One of six wines in a series celebrating the high altitude regions of NSW. Open-fermented, cold-soaked, 15% whole bunches, French oak (20% new). The colour is a spectacular crimson-purple; a distinguished medium to full-bodied palate, abounding with black fruits, plus carefully calibrated oak and tannins.

Very youthful, bright purple/red colour and a smoky, earthy, but fresh aroma of dark plum. This continues through to the palate which is again bright and fresh, with lively acidity which runs like a sharp knife through the ripe, plum, blackberry, smoke, spice and chocolate flavours. Very good.
