This is sourced from the hills and valley floor of the Barossa. As a result, there is a lifted spicy character to complement the richer riper fruit characters creating poise and focus. The nose reveals subtle cedary and mocha characters with that spicy lift finishing it beautifully. The flavours land in a good place with the medium body carrying flavours of chocolate and roasted coffee with vibrant dark plum, all delivered with understatement. Love the brightness and vibrancy throughout.
