"This has attractive aromas of fresh red berries and raspberries, along with blueberries and some earthy, floral notes, too. The palate has direct fruit, in the mode of Beaujolais, and very fluffy tannins. A blend of grenache, shiraz and mataro. Drink now. Screw cap."

"Fruit from 6 districts across the Barossa Valley, 10% whole bunches. Wild fermented, foot stomped and 88% matured in old French oak hogsheads, puncheons and a large vat. Unfined. An impressively full, vibrant purple hue heralds a carefully blended shiraz that unites the districts of the central Barossa Valley. Judicious deployment of whole bunches and seasoned French oak upholds a resolute focus on classy blackberry, black cherry and satsuma plum fruit, nuanced with black pepper and violets. Finely textured tannins and bright acidity carry a finish of impressive line, length and potential. Great value."

"Lifted florals, plump berries, licorice and spice aromas open, followed by a silky, round palate that's tugged by ripe, chalky tannins. A soft-edged, hug-in-a-glass for drinking fireside with a wintery roast. - Christina Pickard"
