About this Item
Winemakers personal tasting note:
'Mid Garnet colour. Aromas of ground peppercorns, raw meat, a pinch of cranberry and a savoury, tertiary overlay. The palate has a supple, elegant feel to it, mid-weight with a sinuous, texture and resolved fine tannins. The flavours of white pepper, dark chocolate cake and black fruits are underpinned with a rasp of acidity. Already complex the fresh acid and present yet fine tannins should keep for a few years still.' - Richard Kershaw

Critics Ratings
'Ethereal allspice and white pepper notes to finely etched, iodine-tinged dark berry fruit flavours in fantastic 2012 debut. Exceptional food partner - savouriness and tempered tannins perfectly complement richer dishes (duck, pork belly), amplify the 'umami' tone of both food and wine. 50% new casks for 15 months.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2015, 4.5*
'Mid crimson and very subtle perfume. Definitely a Syrah that recalls the northern Rhône more than a Shiraz from Barossa. What a skein of integrity there is here! It's really very fine. The fruit is more cranberry than anything else but is more subtle than that.' - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17.5/20 (May 2014)
