Dark cherry red in colour. Fragrant aromas of cherries and roses are highlighted with hints of
chocolate. The lively, medium weight palate is filled with flavours of bright summer berries. The
luscious Grenache is complemented and structurally enhanced by the darker berry flavours and
ripe tannins of the Shiraz and Mourvèdre, offering immediate appeal, whilst with age the wine
will develop an attractive, savoury complexity.

Other Notes

The proximity to St Vincent Gulf, coincidentally named after the patron saint of winemakers,
benefits fruit quality with warmer spring and autumn conditions and cooler summers.

high quality, richly flavoured wines.
