Description
WINEMAKER: Stuart Olsen
REGION: Mudgee, NSW
VARIETY: Petit Verdot, Saperavi, Tannat
VITICULTURE: Organic
The Murray-Darling is rich with Australian wine culture, being the home to various experimental varieties that aren’t well known. But this isolated region, in western NSW, is warm, dry and virtually perfect for late-ripening ‘big-tough’ varieties like Petit Verdot, Saperavi, Tannat … etc.. This blend, is a composition of these three late ripening, tannic-as-hell varieties that demand a hot dry long season in order to ripen to perfection. Petit Verdot, Saperavi and Tannat. Ripening conditions were near perfect in 2021.
The presence of the wine is immediately exciting with an inky dark opaque, deep purple colour.. The wine looks menacing, but actually it's an iron fist in a velvet glove. It exudes richness, but is actually very soft, plump ripe and juicy… Aromas of violets, lavender, blueberry liqueur follow the palates rich diversity of blue and blackberries, liquorice, graphite, mocha finishing with an almost cranberry tartness.. All three varieties are as decadent as each other and will need time to open up to fully show their character. All in good time.

Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
