Sample
Sourced from Purple Hands vineyard's in the southern Barossa. The wine was basket pressed to French oak and aged on gross lees for 18 months prior to bottling with minimal filtration.
This is a bold wine from a warmer vintage that has positively soaked up newer French Oak input, there are sultry plum fruits on the nose with a saline edge and touches of cocoa.
Fruit, oak and tannin are well integrated with dark berry fruits melting into the drying backbone of dark cherry and bitter dark chocolate tannins, there is a touch of leather and earth to finish with the wine sure to reward time.
