Favourable seasonal conditions during 2018, resulted in another high quality vintage with warmer than average temperatures in February slowing down ripening to allow longer time for fruit development. Int ense in colour this Shiraz offers rich mulberry and black currant aromas and flavours, layered with chocolate, cedar oak and spice, balanced with fine silky tannins.
