Dark fruited aromas with fresh new leather, dark clove and black olive tapenade in support. The palate is dark, rich and layered with sweet black fruit flavours, garden herbs, rose petal and toast. Soft but obvious tannins combined with freshness of acidity help drive a satisfyingly long finish. Pair with lamb shanks with olive mash.

For the year 2020, it will be remembered for high quality across the Barossa in 2020 but yields were down. This was in part due to temperamental spring weather and a hot, dry summer. Although the yields were affected by the heatwave of December and January, prudent growers managed this well with careful irrigation and maintaining soil moisture. The resulting fruit, (though less of it) was concentrated and exceptional.
