Hailing from Margaret River, one of Australia’s most celebrated wine regions, this expression captures the essence of what makes Western Australian reds so compelling. The vineyard benefits from maritime influences that moderate temperatures and extend the growing season, resulting in wines with balance and finesse.
Nose: Aromas of ripe blackberries and blackcurrants open the experience, supported by earthy undertones and hints of chocolate and cedar from oak maturation.
Palate: Medium to full-bodied with vibrant red berry fruit flowing seamlessly into vanillin oak and toasted spice. The texture is supported by chewy yet supple tannins that provide structure without overwhelming the fruit, while fresh leafy notes add complexity to the mulberry core.
Finish: Fine, grainy tannins persist on the elegant, refreshing finish, revealing the wine’s lithe character and food-friendly nature.
Pairs beautifully with grilled beef, roasted venison, or hearty lamb dishes where the tannin structure can complement rich proteins.
Serve at 16-18°C in a standard Bordeaux glass to allow the aromas to develop fully.
A versatile everyday pour that offers genuine Margaret River character at a price that encourages exploration and repeated enjoyment.
