Totally opaque black dark purple colour with a deep dark red black tinged hue. Spicy dark plum and red liquorice scents intermix with clove, mint, vanillin cedar and subtle earth notes. Mid weighted, the palate has a refined feel to it with pepper infused flavours of red plum and liquorice overlaying meaty characters, light scorched earth and spicy vanillin cedar. Graphite like tannins and fresh acidity lead into a savoury, elegant, red fruited aftertaste that has peppered meat elements coursing through it. Cellar 5-6 years.

Adelaide Hills
The Adelaide Hills is one of the largest geographical wine regions in Australia, and amongst the most diverse in terms of climate, soil and topography. Because of this, many different varietals are planted here with the most dominant being Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. It is generally thought of as a cooler region, especially when compared to neighbouring Barossa to the north and Mclaren vale and Langhorne Creek to the south.
NZ Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc has been popular in Australia for a while now, but Adelaide hills Sauvignon Blanc (the most planted grape in the region) could be considered the Aussie Savvy Blanc. From www.adelaidehillswine.com.au about their Sauvignon Blanc: “Wines that are textured, edgy, vibrant and dry with exceptional fruit definition, length and crispness that marry superbly with summer seafood.”
You can also find some cool climate shiraz from the Adelaide hills, defying the more common big bold style that is usually seen in Australian Shiraz.
