A juicy, primary fruit laden South Australian red blend from the Wrattonbully area near Coonawarra.
From the new premium Australian wine region of Wrattonbully, just north of Coonawarra and with the same distinctive bright red Terra Rossa soil, this full-bodied and textured red is a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Shiraz. After fermentation it was aged for 20 months in French oak, 90% of which was new. It has wonderfully powerful dark fruits, and a strong spicy character from the Shiraz. And with some floral notes and eucalyptus coming through as well this is a well made, deep and complex wine with a nicely sweet core and gentle savoury tannins showing at the finish.
