It reaches straight into warm asphalt, saltbush and blackberry flavour, its intent clear, its style as simple as it is uncompromised. Rich and hearty, served straight up. Smoothness of the texture here won't displease anyone either.

This beauty announces its regional credentials loudly and proudly. Deeply, darkly coloured and shaped magnificently by swathes of spiced, charry, chocolate, blackberry and black cherry flavours. Supple and sure with a nod towards elegance.
