Sourced from a premium private cellar
-
Description
The Cabernet and Malbec components were sourced from the Stonewell vineyard, whilst the Merlot came from the Ebenezer district of Barossa Valley. The wine spent two years in new French and American oak hogsheads.
Opaque brick red colour, showing signs of bottle age, but still with years of life in front of it. Excellent, perfumed nose. Aroma of ripe figs, prunes, chocolate, vanilla, blackcurrants, cedar and spice. The palate displays complexity due to bottle age, with distinct blackcurrant, cedar and leather spice flavours, supported by a very distinctive firm dry, yet balanced tannin structure, which lingers long into the aftertaste. Only a tiny parcel of this wine is available, with stocks mainly being exported
