The combination of a good vintage and 48 months of wood maturation has produced a wine with exceptional depth, complexity and personality. The intensely distinctive nose shows rose petal perfume with black berry and mulberry fruit, as well as cinnamon and black pepper spice. On the palate there are powdery tannins, surrounded by a fleshy fullness and lingering minerally freshness.

Enjoyed at its best between eight and twelve years after vintage.

81% Shiraz, 10% Grenache, 9% Mourvèdre

Try this wine with spiced dishes and food served with sweetish sauces and relishes that will meet the bold, spicy and fruity flavours of the Shiraz and Grenache halfway.

Also try game in various forms, cold meat cuts, oxtail, BBQ'd lamb, beef, chicken, duck and pork spare ribs or even mild curries. Choice of cheese: a mature Gruyere.
