Langhorne Creek is a region that supplies so much fruit to many of Australia’s most popular brands. This is a wine oozing all the smooth suppleness and total drinkability of the region and comes from old vines. The oak and tannin balance is excellent with a fine chalkiness running deep. The fruit weight is typically in that medium zone but there is ample weight and powerful fruit concentration. Overall, this is perfect drinking now or over the next 10 years. It’s just a matter of how you like your wines.
