Hunter Valley NSW A very elegant and complex red showing concentrated fruit flavours as a result of low cropping vines. Lifted fruit aroma with a touch of jaminess and spicy pepper complexity. Long and persistent fruit driven palate showing a touch of chocolate character integrated with French oak. Maturation is 100% in French oak barriques to produce soft rounded fruit/oak flavours on the finish. A well balanced wine to enjoy alone with cheese or a variety of meat dishes from time of release through to 5 to 8 years and beyond.
