Deep, bright red-purple colour, a very promising colour. The bouquet is powerful, laced with smoky reduction and layered with nutty and dark cherry characters. The wine is full and plush on the tongue, with silky tannins, sweet fruit core and an utterly delicious flavour profile. Great balance, length and immediate charm

A vibrant, high-energy Pinot Noir displaying excellent varietal character on both the nose and palate. Once again, winemakers have turned to the Coal River and Derwent Valleys of Tasmania for fruit, producing a wine bursting with punchy red berry and cherry notes, spices, and subtle truffle-like characters. The palate is loaded with red fruits, liberally sprinkled with spice, and held tight by fine, chalky acidity. Sustained and very long.

A spicy concoction of brooding dark berries with little bursts of cherry popping candy that surprise and delight. There are baked plums in syrup with a wash of sturdy tannins, artfully welded into the body of the wine. Oak too is carefully handled, just sidling in, to support the wealth of fruit. Orange and tangerine oils begin to unwind with time swirling in the glass. A exotic and structured wine that would drink well now with veal or equally in 5 years with some venison or game terrines.
