Made exclusively from a hand picked Shiraz fruit from a small ultra premium parcel of just eight rows on Block 2 of our home vineyard, Alagna, overlooking McLaren Vale.
Harvested at optimal ripeness and fortified during fermentation at 10 Baume, this wine captures both natural richness and varietal definition.
Matured in seasoned French oak barriques for six months, it is crafted in a modern McLaren Vale style, balancing generosity with poise and purity of fruit.
TASTING NOTES
Deep garnet in colour with a vibrant, youthful hue. The nose is expressive and lifted, showing aromas of ripe blackberry, plum compote and dark cherry, layered with notes of cocoa, baking spice and subtle oak sweetness.
On the palate, the wine is plush and enveloping, with a velvety texture and finely integrated spirit. Concentrated dark fruits are complemented by hints of dark chocolate, mocha and spice, while a line of natural acidity provides freshness and drive. The finish is long, smooth and persistent, with a harmonious balance between richness and structure.
FOOD MATCH
Rich cheeses such as aged cheddar or blue, dark chocolate desserts, or simply on its own as a refined after-dinner indulgence.
CELI.ARING: Drinking beautifully now, this wine will continue to evolve and gain further complexity over the next 10–15 years with careful cellaring
