Tasting Notes
Appearance:
Deep, youthful purple-red hues hint at the wine's vibrant fruit profile and freshness.
Nose:
A lifted bouquet of spicy plum and ripe blackberry greets the senses, beautifully intertwined with delicate notes of violet and a whisper of white pepper. The cool-climate origins shine through with aromatic intensity and lively floral undertones.
Palate:
The palate is soft and lush, brimming with juicy black fruit-plum and blackberry-supported by subtle hints of spice and floral grace. The presence of a small portion of Viognier adds an extra dimension of elegance, contributing fresh aromatics and enhancing the texture. Fine tannins and balanced acidity provide structure, while a nuanced layer of chocolate complexity from Heathcote fruit weaves through the mid-palate.
Finish:
Refined and persistent, the finish is wonderfully supple, leaving a lasting impression of dark fruit, gentle spice, and refreshing acidity that invites another sip.
This cool-climate Shiraz encapsulates the best of the Yarra Valley's expressive terroir, delivering a wine full of character, vibrancy, and sophistication.
