Winemaking techniques such as open fermentation and gentle pressing were used to make a wine of impressive colour & intensity with classic McLaren Vale flavour intensity the aim. Taste: The palate is a reflection of the bouquet, showing fresh and juicy dark berry fruit flavours intermingled with enticing characters of dark chocolate and cherry, trickling to the finish line. Soft and subtle tannins provide length and structure to this balanced and generous wine. Appearance: Deep purple in colour with a scarlet hue. Aroma: Aromas of blackberries, notes of violets and chocolate supported by a hint of strawberry. Grape variety: Shiraz
