Mocha, dark chocolate and liquorice, with notes of cocoa and freshly roasted coffee beans.

Vintage & Winemaking

From Coonawarra's mild 2021 growing season, the wine was fermented initially in static and rotary stainless-steel fermenters, finishing in 300-litre barrels. It then matured for 18 months in French and American oak hogsheads before the Shiraz parcels were selected and blended for bottling.
