Sourced from the Coonawarra’s ‘mid-west’- there is something down-to-earth about this, Akubra tilting, boots-caked-in-red-earth kind of character. Mid-weight and vibrant, brimming with cherry, blackcurrant, after dinner mint, chocolate ripple biscuit and freshly turned earth. A core of sweet berry fruit is lifted by juicy acidity and framed in fine, filigree tannins. The palate tightens at the finish, revealing a cool, lingering freshness woven with pine, blackcurrant pastille and powdered chocolate. Commendable effort in a challenging vintage.
Tijana is on a mission to take the intimidation out of wine. With a background in sales and marketing, she furthered her studies to complete WSET Levels 2 and 3. An advocate for chardonnay, she plans to use her position as Deputy Chair for Wine Communicators SA Chapter to break the ABC (Anything But Chardonnay) stigma. If sentenced to death, her last meal would be freshly baked bread and salted butter paired with a glass of the best wine in the world - chardonnay of course.
