APPEARANCE
Deep dark black cherry red with garnet edges

NOSE
The aromatics are dark and brooding; intense mulberry fruit black plum and fresh violet are met with forest bramble tobacco and hints of smoked ground spices. Finer nuances of mocha roasted charred fig wild anise and dark earth meld with dried herbal notes and hints of cinnamon and nutmeg

PALATE
The palate is tightly wound with mocha and dusty red berry fruit anise and fresh wild floral elements which overlay a densely packed yet finely structured palate with a myriad of spice and delicate herbal notes. This well balanced and seamless wine displays wonderful savoury notes of cedar and red earth fanning out to a supple and silky texture of long dark chocolate

Margaret River Wine

In the southwest of Western Australia, the Margaret River wine region is unique in that it is the most maritime-influenced region in all of Australia. The cool Indian ocean breezes come in through the summer to keep the temperatures around the vines steady resulting in an unusually even accumulation of warmth in the growing season. It is also quite dry as interestingly less than 20% of the annual rainfall occurs as the grapes are growing. The region’s climatic factors have been compared to what Bordeaux would be like in a dry season. While the region’s total production is relatively small (3% of Australia’s total wine production), it is responsible for 20% of our premium wine market.

Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz as well as Bordeaux blends are all very popular red wine options in the region.

For whites, refreshing blends of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon as well as complex, age worthy Chardonnays are the specialties.
