“The wines from this estate have become classier and classier with each passing year. Indeed, it’s fast heading for elite status.” — CAMPBELL MATTINSON & GARY WALSH

Description
Sitting at the lower portion of Coolart Road's eastern slope, ‘D Block’ – the historic heart of our single vineyard wines from this vineyard – typically has darker fruit, an earthy edge with bigger tannins.
This wine shows delicate rose petals intertwined with briny caper berry aromatics, lifting from the glass. The palate unfolds in layers, revealing dark plum and subtle balsamic notes, while hints of glazed beetroot add intrigue. Signature earthen tannins provide a lovely grippy framework, their rustic structure counterbalanced by sweet concentrated plum fruit.
