This is our first attempt, so the winemaking will evolve, but the wine has surprised us. It’s pure and fruit driven as you’d expect but somehow there’s a savoury interest. Dark fruited but not heavy in anyway, it’s still got a little Fred Astaire (light on its feet) feel. Frisky but serious. Air is this wine's friend – introduce it to a decanter and it will start unfurling. Peat, red and black berries, a weird but interesting Vegemite kinda umaminess. Firmly structured with chunky, chewy tannin and focused through the finish.
