The two previous vintages were raspingly hot, but in
2010 it was cooler so allowing the grapes to ripen
slowly and retain acidity. The grapes came from one
of the very best vineyards in the McLaren Vale, 14-
years-old, farmed organically and biodynamically, and
harvested both by hand and machine. Fifteen per
cent of the grapes were kept as whole bunches for
the (native yeast) fermentation. All left on the skins
for 24 days before maturing in oak for 22 months.
Unfined and very low added sulphur.
TASTING NOTES
Multi-layered fragrance of black fruit, star anise, black pepper and dark chocolate
backed up by soft spicy oak
VICTUALS
Beef teriyaki, spicy tagines, peppered steak or roast grouse
