A complex vineyard it has various geologies of ancient sandstone and deep alluvial clays mixed with aggregate. An expressive wine showing lifted aromas, concentrated flavours unique to the site with fine tannin structure built to age with elegance and softness to approach now. A dark ruby red coloured wine. An expressive wine showing lifted aromas of chocolate mint, baked raspberries, redcurrants, dark plums, blueberry and blackberry with cinnamon spice and a hint of smoke.
