This wine is sourced from the McKillop vineyard in the northern part of Coonawarra, giving it an angelic purity from the start. The colour is brilliant and bright with a vibrant luminosity. Aromas are an exotic merging of violets and raspberry with a subtle confectionary jubey lift. In the palate, which has been crafted using only very large format seasoned French oak vats, the vibrant, juicy red fruits announce themselves. It’s medium-bodied with succulent and delicious flavours opening up. Fine chalky tannins have the Coonawarra DNA. A super wine.
