Appearance
Deep ruby red with purple hues, displaying excellent concentration and viscosity that hints at the wine's richness and quality.
Aroma
The nose opens with enticing aromas of dark berries and ripe plums, complemented by distinctive notes of chocolate mint. Smoky oak adds complexity and depth, whilst subtle hints of spice and eucalyptus reflect the wine's Australian heritage.
Palate
Medium to full-bodied with a luxurious mouthfeel that showcases the classic sweetness of Langhorne Creek fruit. Rich dark berry and plum flavours are beautifully integrated with chocolate mint nuances and smoky oak influence. The wine's silky tannins provide elegant structure without overwhelming the generous fruit character, leading to a long, satisfying finish with excellent balance.
Pairs With
This versatile red wine complements grilled steaks, slow-cooked lamb shanks, beef casseroles, and mature hard cheeses. It's equally enjoyable with barbecued meats or rich pasta dishes with tomato-based sauces.
