A Grenache dominated Rhône style blend done Barossa style, the wine spends around a year maturing in French oak, approximately one third new. Under cork. Deep maroon red, this is quite the savoury style. Earthy with notes of animal skins and leather, dark berries, coffee grinds and dried herbs, there is good focus, a supple texture, fine tannins and bright acidity. Certainly, there is a flick of oak but it is integrating well and this is a wine of impressive length, which is definitely here for the long haul – 10 years plus.
