Fruit is from a single 40-hectare vineyard operation that brings together the iconic Dixons Creek Estate and the adjacent former Mandala vineyard, originally planted by the Henkell family in the 1980s. An alluring wine with Bing cherries, raspberries and lilac florals. Some sweetly spiced cinnamon and nutmeg, fruit heightens its power on the palate and tannins are spread far and wide with sandy sweeping motions. You’ll be smacking your lips with fervor and wondering why you didn’t buy more. Try this with a Philly cheese steak sandwich. Drink now or cellar for another 3-4 years down the line.
