A Shiraz (85%) Pinot Noir (15%) blend with a delicate lift of cherry, raspberry and red plum. The palate has hidden complexity of red fruits and fine tannins with the delicate Pinot Noir characters peeking through the fuller bodied Shiraz.

This is perfectly balanced, medium bodied wine with bright plush fruit, silky tannins and well-defined acidity which gives a long, refreshing finish. The nose has violets and black fruits and the palate has loads of forest berries, a touch of dark chocolate, soft tannins and refreshing acidity.
