Lower-than-average regional yields meant each vine's energy was concentrated into a smaller fruit load, adding to the richness and definition of the final wine. The result is a Shiraz of characteristic softness and flesh, with the signature blueberry and spice character of McLaren Vale's Blewitt Springs, Willunga and McLaren Flats fruit, underpinned by supple tannins and well-integrated French oak influence from nine months of maturation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blueberries and warm spice with soft, inviting depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soft and fleshy-textured with blueberry and spice character, supple tannins and stylish French oak influence throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWinemaking\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFruit was selected from parcels across Blewitt Springs, Willunga and McLaren Flats.
