Eighty Acres

Wine Colour
Vibrant red with a youthful purple hue on release.

Wine Bouquet
The wine has a lifted complex nose with aromas of blackcurrant, plum and mint. More savoury characters of dried herbs, spice, cedar and chocolate add to the wines charm.

Wine Palate
The wine has luscious berry characters throughout the palate while spice, liquorice and dark chocolate characters add complexity. The wine, whilst rich in texture, has a soft, round mid palate with long elegant tannins and a velvety, persistent finish.

Cellaring Notes
The wine can be enjoyed now but will benefit from careful cellaring up to and possibly beyond 2014.
