John Innes of Ottelia has made plenty of wine in Coonawarra so it is no great surprise that he still dabbles in it. This is an interesting style – long aged before release – so gives plenty of fruit complexity for the price.
It is a bit old-fashioned and rustic in style – lots of oak and ripe fruit well matched and with that classic Coonawarra choc-mint. It is also tannic and concentrated with makes for a chewy palate with layers of blackberry, cedar and cigarbox complexity. Sunday night roast lamb will match it perfectly.
