Tasting Notes
A Rich and complex wine with ripe plum and berry flavours, with underlying toasted oak notes finishing with a smooth and textured palate from integrated barrel maturation. These concentrated flavours follow through on the palate which gives this wine a rich and complex finish.
Food Suggestions
Pairs well with a beef casserole, roasted or barbequed lamb or any venison dishes.
In The Vineyard
Our farmers grow grapes on dry-land and deep-rooted bush vines. The wines reflect the ancient soils and coastal proximity for which the Darling region is so well known. In this individually crafted range, every wine tells its own story.
