    The 2017 vintage was notable for being cool and very long (which meant we picked late), giving great acid and intense fruit character. From the earthy, caramelized beetroot and pepper-berry of the nose onward, this is an expansive, complex wine, held together by a robust structure. Firm tannin and medium-plus acid carry palate notes of fresh raspberries, stewed plum and vanilla toward a drying, almost-smoky finish.
    Note: this is the first release of this wine entirely under Stelvin screwcap—which done to increase consistency and long-term cellar ability.

    Variety: (CS/Merlot/CF/Petit Verdot)


    Country of Origin:


    Region: Coal River Valley, Tasmania


    Vintage: 2017


    Award:

    Deep, youthful red with a tinge of purple remaining, the bouquet loaded with tobacco, humus and leaf-litter aromas, looking uncannily like a St Emilion. A trace of animal which isn't objectionable. The palate is medium bodied and firm, with medium length and slightly sappy but not bitter tannins. A complex Bordeaux blend with a lot of merlot character, an impressive wine and good value.
