A premium shiraz from one of the iconic producers of the region. A rich bouquet of prunes, liquorice and plums lures you into a dense world of fruit flavours wrapped up in oak. This is a great wine that will make for exceptional ageing over the next 10 years or more. Try it with hearty winter red meat dishes or vegetable moussaka.

A very assertive, dark-plum and blackberry style with espresso-laced fruit on the nose and a sturdy frame of tannin, carrying flavors long and juicy. Ripe, dark fruit, plenty of spice and roasted coffee here. Drink or hold.

The Real Review, 7 April, 2019
Deep, bright, youthful purple/red colour with a similarly fresh, bold aroma of blackberry and some dried herbs, the palate likewise bright and fresh, fruit-sweet and lavishly lush, backed up by sufficient soft tannin to add structure. A delicious and very approachable young shiraz, which will also age well.
