Vineyards
Barossa, Australia. The soil is shallow, pale loam over clay, dark loams with ironstone.
Winemaking
The grapes are placed uncrushed into steel fermenters. After fermentation, the skins are gently basket pressed, combining traditional methods with new technology. 100% matured in French (20%) and American (80%) oak for 18 months.
Tasting Notes

Taste: Soft and supple, yet elegant with plenty of upfront fruit. Hints of spice, pepper and vanillan oak. Beautifully balanced tannins derived from 18 months in American & French oak.
Food Pairing
Delicious with rare, roast meats and tomato-based pasta dishes.
