A flagship release from a producer that is responsible for some of the best value wines coming out of Langhorne Creek.
The wine that has seen the royal treatment in terms of the parcels of fruit, generous use of oak and winemaking technique that serves to temper the wines more masculine and generous characters. The nose melds high tone plum and blueberry fruit with vanillin spice and new leather. The palate is expansive in terms of fruit but is characterised by a tannin structure that builds with cocoa and earth supported by rolling spice. The length is considerable to finish with this release the definition of a full bodied red.
