The Shiraz brings an exotic floral fragrance and the juicy expansive fruit palate. Touriga naional being naturally high in tannin brings a firm but friendly structure and spice to the blend. A violet perfume lifted nose, juicy mulberry fruits with aniseed spice. The wine is fleshy, intriguing with plenty of spice complexity neatly wrapped in a blanket of tannin.

Varietals Varietals: 70% Shiraz, 30% Touriga Naional

Region Yarra Valley, Victoria.

Winemaking
Whole berry fermentation was employed with both varieties to encourage the fleshy fruit-full palate. Gentle hand plunging twice daily allows for careful tannin extraction. The individual components spent 9 months in old French oak barriques in our underground cellar before blending and bottling.

Vines
Shiraz sourced from our Salamenca block planted in 1995 and Touriga naional sourced from a terraced block that sits above the Shiraz; planted in 1990 and 2013. When the 1990 Touriga naional vines were planted, the land where it was grown was reclaimed from the encroaching bushland and dubbed the New Territories.
