Fashioned from 12 different estate-grown clones, fermented in small batches (for those clones) partial wild yeast and extended maceration, matured for 18 months in French oak (30% new), ultimately a barrel selection. Black cherries are at the centre of this beautifully poised wine. It's a first-class wine at an incredibly low price.

An impressive estate wine that comes from a serious amount of detailed work in the vineyards across the Hills - for a start 12 separate clones that bring a range of complex characters into play before 18 months maturation in larger oak formats, 30% new. The red to crimson fruit profile is perfectly sweet and spicy, the latter a sprinkling of ground white pepper. Medium bodied with a decent presence of tannins in the mouthfeel, the wine is neatly balanced and structured. Most desirable, and terrific value in terms of its detail.

Very deep, saturated purple colour; bold and fresh looking, and the nose backs this up with intense spices with star anise, clove and pepper to the fore, with the merest suggestion of eucalyptus. The palate is bright, intense and focused, with modulated fine but firm tannins, beautifully balanced and drinking really well already. A seriously elegant, spicy, cool-climate/cool season shiraz. Great value.
