VITAL STATISTICS
Wine details
-
In the glass, the wine has a concentrated dark cherry red colour with a violet and purple hue to the edges.
There are lifted dark cherry and black plum aromas along with subtle dusty spice, dried rose petals and rich polished leather overtones.
This is a rich wine with berry-laden, dark chocolate characters underpinned by a hint of sweet leather. The oak maturation brings depth and length to the palate with a lovely tannin line. The wine is very well balanced with well integrated oak and the finish is persistent and imminently enjoyable
The fruit for this wine was sourced from premier blocks on the Taylor family estate in the Clare Valley. As soon as the grapes were harvested, they were quickly transferred the short distance to our winery cellars. After de-stemming, the fruit was cold soaked at 6 C for a period of 5 days to ensure optimum colour whilst retaining fruit expression. After this, the fruit was transferred to small static stainless steel tanks and a cultured yeast was added to start fermentation. The fruit fermented at an even warm temperature with the must turned over four times daily using our gentle gas mixing system to aid gentle colour and tannin extraction. Post fermentation, the wine was pressed and transferred to a mixture of both American and French oak barrels (20% new and 80% 1 – 3 years old) to complete malolactic fermentation. After maturing in oak for a period of 20 months, the wine was blended, filtered and bottled.

Raymond Chan,
18 Dec 201918.5 PointsDark, deep, black-hued purple-ruby colour, a little lighter on the rim, youthful in appearance. The nose is softly full with good depth and intensity of ripe blackberry fruit with notes of boysenberries and black plums along with subtle nuances of spice, minerals, eucalypt and oak vanillins. This aromatics retain a degree of elegance and proportion. Medium-full bodied, the palate has a rounded, but concentrated core of sweetly ripe blackberry fruit with boysenberry and black plum flavours along with notes of spice, oak vanillins and black earth elements. The fruit sweetness and succulence is underlined by fine-grained tannin structure that lends a guiding, textured line. The acidity is soft and integrated, and the wine carries to a long and sustained finish. This is a sweetly ripe, concentrated and succulent Malbec with blackberry and plummy fruit along with oak lift and a fine-textured palate. Match with roasted red meat dishes and semi-hard cheeses over the next 5+ years. 100% Malbec from two contract growers, fermented to 13.69% alc., the wine aged 12 months in 20% new American oak barrels. -
Mark Henderson, Summer sun in a glass
19 Mar 2019Sweeter fruited nose with berry compote, blackcurrant and leaf. Noticeably sweeter fruited palate with red fruits, spice vanilla and mint. Supple in the mouth yet there -
Michael Cooper, Winter Wines Are Coming
19 Jun 2019If you like powerful Aussie reds, this is for you. Matured for 20 months in American and French oak barrels, it is dark and robust with rich, vibrant flavours of dark fruits, licorice and spices. Delicious drinking, both now and onwards.
