Tasting
A great expression of Macedon Ranges, this single vineyard wine has dark cherry fruit laden with spice and herbaceous undertones.

The palate shows a wine that is layered and builds in complexity across the journey. Sappy dark cherry fruit is underpinned by beetroot and forrest floor characters, quality French oak gives spice and a suppleness that plays well against the wines persistent but well handled acidity. The tannins to finish are fine but give structure.

An excellent release that will evolve with age.
