Dark fruits; brooding and mysterious. Cool-climate Shiraz, deliciously medium-bodied. Think charcuterie, graphite, and aniseed spice. Blue and black plums add fruit concentration, layered with liquorice spice, cured meat, and a smoky-char whisper. Medium-weighted, driven by fruit purity, with oak as a faint seasoning alongside subtle stalk grip.

Hand harvested, bunches are sorted before processing as whole bunches or berries. Half of the block ferments in a 3500L oak cask; 20% whole bunch, topped up for maturation with 100% whole bunch. The remainder ferments in half-tonne open fermenters, hand plunged twice daily. Pressed to release the last fermenting juice, then aged 12 months—50% in a three-year-old 3500L cask, 50% in French oak puncheons (10% new).
