Pre-ferment maceration 2-3 days, inoculated yeast, matured in French oak (15% new) for 18 months. Deep red hue. A solid shiraz with Central Victorian earthiness as a constant - and attractive - thread. Black cherry, fruit pastille, white pepper and dusty oak aromas. Builds a strong case for further ageing on the palate, adding bright fruit and freshness to the earthiness with fine tannins. Well structured.
