Langhorne Creek’s finesse shines through in this wine as it reveals its cool climate roots. Aromas of mulberry, graphite, and nutmeg are enhanced by an expressive floral note, creating an enticing bouquet. Paired with butter chicken curry, the spicy nutmeg complexity entwines with the wine, allowing sweet blueberry flavours to playfully emerge on the palate. With each breath the wine unveils new layers of interest, culminating in a sweet-fruited drive along silky tannins. The well-constructed finish, driven by its lively acidity, showcases the seamless integration of oak regime to highlight the grower’s pedigree and variety’s elegance. This is an effortlessly stylish, easy-drinking wine, with black tea undertones that add to its flamboyant and sleek personality. Currently at its peak for consumption, with an optimal window of 3 to 5 years. If you haven’t already, I certainly invite you to discover this expression.
