    Description

    Nose: Rich deep fruit flavours – dark chocolate and vanilla sit alongside braised strawberries, mulberries and blueberries with star anise and cinnamon sitting in the background. Palate: Rich, inviting, full bodied wine. Heaps of deep dark flavours – earthy overtones of rhubarb, beetroot sit alongside the blue fruited core with fine cinnamon and hints of pepper on the finish. Tannins are fine and structural giving the wine a framework to age gracefully over oncoming years. Pairing: Fillet mignon and red wine jus with potato dauphinoise. Winemaking: Made exclusively from the best Estate grown Wilyabrup vines, the fruit is handpicked with individual vineyard lots fermented separately; with portions being barrel fermented or held on skins for extended maceration depending on their fruit characters. The wine was then matured in new and one year-old French oak barriques for 18 months before being blended, and bottled.
