• Background

  This wine has long been a favourite of Somerled clients and sits just in between our pinot noir and shiraz.

• Vineyard Notes

  Charleston, Adelaide Hills vineyard owned by Kim Anderson. Temp fruit comes from a high breezy ridge bringing the grapes to perfect, even ripening. This was an excellent quality but low yield vintage all round.

• Winemaking

  24 months in well-matured French oak barrels. Underwent a rack and return around half a dozen times over that period, giving the wine excellent structure, roundness, complexity and secondary aroma.

• Tasting Notes

  Medium to full bodied wine with great warmth and roundness. Savoury with very enticing hints of blackcurrant.

• Style

  European mid weight.

• Colour

  Dark with ruby tints.

• Bouquet

  Savoury with blackcurrant elements.

• Palate

  Warm, round and savoury.

• Peak Drinking / Cellaring Potential
• Food Matches

  Homemade pasta dripping with parmesan and great olive oil.
