2018 was an outstanding year. This wine is a blend from vineyards in the Pyrenees and Central Victorian regions. Conditions were near perfect throughout the whole growing season. The year was warm without being too hot and the vines were able to ripen the fruit without any stress, meaning all aspects of fruit composition was excellent.
The fruit was harvested in mid March, 2018 and fermented in stainless steel to preserve the fruit flavours. The Shiraz and Merlot fill out the mid palate and provide fruitfulness, the Grenache adds savoury notes, dusty tannins and further complexity.
