Barossa Valley, South Australia.
The wine was matured in 20% new French oak and the balance seasoned American oak for 20 months.
An opulent nose of ripe blueberry, blackberry and black cherry fruits leads to a succulent, flavoursome palate with terrific fruit richness and supple, silky tannin. True to its Moppa sub region origins and the epitome of the Greenock Creek style, the wine shows hearty, robust dark fruit flavours. This is nuanced with savoury and chocolate elements along with a distinctive spiced rum character on the finish. Matured in 15% new and a balance of seasoned French and American oak hogsheads.
"Deep crimson. Intense blackberry jam, mulberry inky aromas with savoury/ minerally/ chinotto notes. Blackberry, mulberry fruits, fine minerally textures, juicy acidity and underlying chinotto, roasted walnut, dark chocolate notes. Finishes chalky firm and minerally long. Modern glossy bistro style. Drink now – 2030.”
