Shiraz

McLaren Vale, South Australia. Fulsome and bold, from rich old vine fruit, layered throughout the palate. Tight tannins support bands of liquorice and spicy vanilla, complimenting a dense concentration of bramble-berry fruit and dark chocolate flavours. Careful use of all new American and French oak...

McLaren Vale, South Australia. Folds of smooth, rounded fruit, plum and berry, overlaying well combined tannins showing a distinct depth of flavour and complexity throughout.

Adelaide Hills, South Australia.  Nose: Lifted and alluring dark red and blue notes typical of Blewitt Springs tease the nose with hints of graphite and subtle herb.  Palate: Soft and ethereal mouthfeel across an even palate of fruit flavours ranging among blackberry, blackcurrant, blueberry and ripe plums.

It also adds layers of aromas helping to integrate the dark berry characters with the mocha and toasted spices offered by the oak...

Barossa Valley, South Australia.  This wine is intended to show all the dark berry and chocolate characters that are the hallmark of Barossa Shiraz but in a bright, fruit driven way supported with spice and some subtle oak derived tannins...

McLaren Vale, S.A. Lovely intensity of rich Shiraz fruit flavours but with an elegant structure and tannin level that gives this wine a great drinkable quality. Bright fruits – black berry, black currants, plums, violets & delicate spice...

Barossa Valley, South Australia. "A neat mix of dark and tangy red fruits with a hint of cassis, menthol and mocha; while not a big wine, the tannins are savoury, the acid fresh making it a drink-now proposition."
