Description
WINEMAKER: Jennie Gardner & Col McBryde
VARIETY: Shiraz, Mataro
REGION: Clare Valley, S.A.
VITICULTURE: Organic
Hand-picked, fruit is destemmed and mildly crushed, all parcels were picked and fermented separately in concrete, Block 4 - 16 days, Block 7 - 24 days and Block 3 (Mataro) - 31 days. Then off to 700 l French oak, 25% new for 16 months.
"Saltbush, iodine and green olive characters run through plum, earth, leather and orange rind. This is a medium weight wine with integrated-but-assertive tannin, a sheeted impression to the (long) finish, character aplenty and the fruit to match. It’s a wine of momentum but then too it’s a wine of strings and muscle. Truth be told, it’s a fantastic wine, and startling value."
94 Points. Campbell Mattinson, Wine Front.
"A generous perfume and similarly so to taste. Lush, ripe red cherry, raspberry, sweet spice, light milk chocolate notes, a touch of aniseed, faint game meat and some truffle notes. It's easy on the palate in its slick of texture and trill of fine, stony tannin to finish. A little minty, alpine herb in there, too. Very approachable and flavoursome."
93 points. Mike Bennie, Wine Companion.

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.
