Colour
Bright red colour with deep purple hues.
Bouquet
Ripe blackcurrants, raspberry and liquorice spice aromas.
Palate
A medium-bodied palate; vibrant black and red fruits over anise spice, a soft tannin profile with chocolate and coffee undertones and subtle French oak influence.
Ageing Potential
Drinking fantastically now.
Vineyard
Fruit is sourced from Neil and Heather Grace's Home Block, with Pinotage planted in 2015 after a trip to South Africa highlighted the suitability of the variety to the Clare Valley. Alluvial soil over limestone.
Vinification
14 day ferment on skins in open fermenters with gentle hand-plunging. Gently pressed to tank, settled and transferred to two- to three-year-old French oak puncheons, hogsheads and barriques, and matured there for 12 months.
Winemaker Notes
Juicy intensity of fruit - on the drinkability scale, it's a five out of five!
