Crimson red with a magenta hue in the glass. 

Nose

Shows intense, fragrant aromas of ripe black fruits, figs, apricot and wet stone with graphite notes. 

Palate

Opens with wet stone, ripe berries, coiled tannins and graphite. 

As the wine opens and relaxes it shows more black fruits and oak, laced with wet stone. A wine of enormous complexity and longevity.

In 1968 the vineyard was planted by Jim Barry and yields less than two tonnes per acre. The soil is sandy gravel and receives an average rainfall of 600mm per year. The vineyard lies on a north-west facing slope which acts as a natural sun trap.
