Violets and Primrose. Blackberry compote, baked beetroot and crushed granite. Prunes and wild figs. Alluring wine with a depth of fruit and florals. Black cardamom, all spice and kashmiri dried chillies. Sweet vanilla pod and cedar. A weighted wine with great fruit quality supported by the royal treatment of new oak. It’s an inky wine with a richness to the way it drapes across your palate. A luxurious wine that’s well made for the enchanted Barossa souls. Drink with slow braised oxtail and creamy buttery mash.
