VinificationThe 3 components were hand harvested and fermented seperately in upright static 10ft fermenters. Fermentation proceeded at about 20-24 degrees for 8 days. When most of the sugar had been converted, the wine was pressed and pressings were added back to the free-run juice. The wine was then filled to a mix of French and American oak Hogsheads for maturation.

James Halliday Australian Wine Companion, July 2015
Edges of fresh, grated coconut give this a real come-hither aspect. It's essentially raspberried and earthen with deeper, bass notes of ripe, juicy blackberry. Balance cannot be questioned.
