Intensely purple in colour the nose is fresh and clean with cherry and dark fruit characters combining with some attractive charry oak. The palate is young and fresh with intense berry fruit flavours and savoury confectionary notes. The oak is apparent but the fruit easily matches it.
The Story
Fruit sourced from the Three Hills Karridale vineyard. Hand pruned to rods and hand picked. The 2005 vintage was ideally cool autumn, conserving the fruit flavours after a typically long and mild growing season.
