Critique Review
“Extravagantly pure and concentrated on the nose, this youthful wine is replete with blackberry and black currant jam. Dense, layered and unctuous on the palate, there are more nuances of black fruit jam along with lifted, mentholated tones and sultry dark chocolate. This is a full-throttle wine with high alcohol, caressing tannins and mild acidic lift. While well-balanced, the style is likely to be polarizing. Yet where there are fans, the flame should burn strong. Drink now–2024.”

Vineyard Info
Grown on the Estate vineyards at Rowland Flat and Lyndoch in southern Barossa Valley. The single wire trellised vines planted in 1995 and 2004 allow for dappled light at the fruit zone to produce optimal ripeness, which is colour, flavour, tannin and sugar development combined. The grapes were harvested on flavour and beautiful expressions of varietal character. The 2022 growing season consisted of a wet winter and below average temperatures during summer, which allowed for good set and even ripening. The grapes for this wine are grown on the Estate vineyards, at Rowland Flat in southern Barossa Valley. The vines are planted on single wire trellising allowing for optimal ripeness. The grapes were harvested on the 3rd March with fruit freshness and beautiful expressions of varietal character.
