The 2021 vintage was special throughout South Australia, and in Wrattonbully it has allowed a wine of real elegance and captivating charm to be produced. A combination of Cabernet, Shiraz, and Cabernet Franc, with Cabernet making up more than half the blend. The colour is brilliant and bright with a slightly translucent appeal. The nose is aromatic and scented, with deeper black fruits lurking below. Elegant, defined, and refined, it spent about 14 months in French oak and old oak foudre, contributing to its balance and perfect integration. As it breathes, more red fruits emerge from a truly exceptional palate.
