About This Wine
Sourced from the high-quality Crayères Vineyard in Wrattonbully, this flagship blend combines Cabernet Sauvignon’s structure and depth with Shiraz’s plush spice. The vineyard’s unique limestone-rich soils and cool climate contribute to exceptional purity, balance, and ageing potential.
Tasting Notes
Deep ruby with a purple hue. Aromas of paprika, sumac, pink peppercorn, and cloves rise over a core of blackcurrant and dark plum. The palate is silky yet focused, with powdery tannins and a touch of herbal lift toward the finish. Layers of red spice and smoky nuances mingle with the concentrated fruit, delivering elegance, persistence, and a refined, bony structure. This is a poised wine of both power and finesse.
Accolades
95 Points – The Wine Advocate (Erin Larkin): “Silky and fine, the lean spool of flavour and entwined spice show elegance and persistence in equal measure. Focused fruit, dusty tannins, and a subtle smoky note on the finish.”
