The grapes for this wine were harvested from a small boutique vineyard in Clarendon, a sub region of McLaren Vale. The vines were planted in 1996 at 290 metres above sea level with this cool climate area prolonging the ripening period, enabling the fruit to fully mature. The wine itself displays great black currant flavours backed up by spices of pepper, good tannins with a hint of vanilla and mint. Drinking exceptionally well now or cellar to 2025.
