Tasting
St Peters is fast moving into Icon status, but fortunately the price hasn't quite kept up with the quality of this wine. The purity, class and mineral drive of this wine is superb and is the reason why it is consistently considered one of the best cool climate wines in this country.
The nose is a heady mix of plum, olive and spicy french oak, the fruit weight and balance on the palate is superb, this wine is balance and concentration personified. A touch of liquorice adds to the pure and textural expression of dark berry fruits and leads to a finish that is laden with spice and textural finish that will see this wine fare well over the next decade or two.
