Written Notes

Ruby with a brick tint. NOSE A subdued yet exotic savoury perfume with light red-berry jam notes and traces of sour cherry. Hints of nori, sage and teak add to notes of shortbread, peanut and blood orange. PALATE A very light but plush palate with plummy notes, a fresh tangy length and fine but strong, powdery tannin finish. The ever so subtle flavours of plum, teak, black tea and a hint of clove round out this intriguing wine.

Mild conditions in Margaret River with no extreme weather conditions, allowing for balanced fruit and a slow and steady intake. There was no disease pressure and fruit quality is excellent the only disappointment was yields being down across the Region for all key varieties. This was the outcome of storms in spring and pressure from an increase in the local population of Silver Eyes (birds) and no Marri Blossom.
