A wine that benefits from the textbook 2015 vintage in Canberra district and some creative winemaking with 30% whole bunch, wild yeast fermentation, the inclusion of 4% Viognier, and 12 months' maturation in seasoned French oak, followed by another 12 months in bottle.
A youthful but dark red in the glass, the nose has beguiling complexity with layered spice, savory flare and lifted floral aromatics the embellishments to brambly dark fruits and sage.
Medium to full bodied with a herbaceous and savory thread that's a constant but the master stroke here is the generosity and precision of dark fruits and the velvety lift given by the inclusion of Viognier.
The finish melds herbs and spice with dark plum. A quality wine on every sense of the word
