- The aromas of this wine are rich and multifaceted. They feature the luscious fragrances of perfectly ripened black cherries and blackberries, complemented by delicate hints of white pepper that add a subtle spicy undertone. The silky tannins carry through to a lingering, enduring finish. On the palate, you will experience a symphony of opulent flavours, showcasing the luxurious essence of plum and the delightful sweetness of cherry notes.
Fermentation occurred in stainless Ganimede fermenters for eight days between 25 to 28°C. Each parcel was pressed at 0.5 Baume through a bag press into stainless steel tanks. Each parcel was clarified via centrifuge and transferred to new and used French and American oak barrels for approximately 12 months. A barrel selection replaced the best parcels, blending over several days, ultimately arriving in this rich, spicy, and complex blend.
The aromas are powerful and complex, encapsulating a wealth of ripe black cherries and blackberries with subtle hints of white pepper and spice. The rich and harmonious palate delivers soft flavours of plum and cherry notes, underpinned by toasty oak and velvety chocolate. Silky tannins lead to a long, persistent finish.

Winery | The grapes come from the Barossa in South Australia and the Eden Valley. Situated at a latitude of 34° South, the Barossa region has rolling hills and valley floors. The growing season often sees hot, warm weather with temperatures of 35°C, which can result in vine stress, helping concentrate the berries' flavours. The wide diurnal temperature differences help to retain balancing acidity. Some grapes come from Berton's original vineyard in the Eden Valley, where the climate is cooler. The vine age varies, but all vines have been spur-pruned and are generally trained on a single-wire cordon trellising system. The vineyards' soil styles vary, ranging from clay to limestone and sandy soils, with each terroir adding its characteristics. |
