Place

Leasingham & Skillogalee Valley sub-regions, Clare Valley.

Vintage Conditions

Low yielding fruit from two vineyards, one positioned in the warmer Leasingham district and the other around our cellar door in the cooler, more elevated Skillogalee valley, were allowed to fully ripen, before hand harvesting.

Winemaking

Fermentation on skins to dryness and basket pressing to new French oak hogsheads. Bottling occurred without fining or filtration.

  • Appearance

    Appearance

    Inky red in colour, dense and opaque in appearance.

  • Nose

    Nose

    A melting pot of herbaceous blackcurrant leaf, riper cassis and dark chocolate notes and quality spicy French oak char, predominate.

  • Palate

    Palate

    Richly flavoured and of layered texture and complexity; the palate oozes old vine charm, blackcurrants, tobacco leaf, emerging cigar box and choc-mint characters all seductively ensconced within classy French oak and naturally provided tannins and acidity
