Sample
The wine was sourced from a number of vineyards in the Macedon Ranges, with this release all about structure and texture with density of fruit and cascading of tannins that provide an enjoyable wine now, but one that will grow in subtle influence in the years to come.

A medium red in colour with a nose of black cherry and rhubarb that melds with earthen spice. The medium bodied palate is all about contrast, piercing black cherry works against a taut line of acidity and savoury tannin with enough oak influence to give just enough richness at this point in the wines development. The finish has length and drive, afforded by the cool climate acidity the Macedon Ranges is known.
