Medium tawny.

Bouquet
Lifted aromas of ripe dark fruit and nuts with barrel aged characters.

Palate
Wonderfully integrated fruit, almond, chocolate and nutty flavours together with barrel aged characters combine to give a persistent flavoursome palate.

Winemaking
Predominately Shiraz and Grenache fruit is allowed to stay on the vine until very ripe when the concentration of flavours has developed. After crushing and partial fermentation to retain some sweetness, the wine is pressed and then fortified with a neutral spirit prior to maturation in small and large format oak casks.
