Some Red blends are bolder than others but are generally smooth and packed with flavour. Most red blends have great balance and a firm tannin structure that makes food pairing easy and easy to drink.
Our red blend bears the same traits as those banished to Australia. Defiant by nature, bold in character. Always uncompromising. It's a taste you'll never forget.
Bright ruby and garnet. Candied spice cherry and plum aromas intermingle with anise and a hint of vanilla. Cherry, toffee and plum follow on the palate with a soft, full and rounded texture.
Intense inky purple with bright magenta hues. Classic McLaren Vale aromas of blackberries bitter chocolate and liquorice are perfectly held by carefully utilised French oak. The palate follows on from the initial aromas and is rich and full, with the abundant fruit flavours given structure by soft tannins.
This wine is layered and complex with red berry and darker fruit aromas, notably blackcurrant, plum and lifted violets. These characters continue onto the palate, with floral and fruit layers supported by fine oak tannin and lively berry fruit persistence.
A big mouthful of ripe berries up front, complimented by tobacco leaves, mushroom & cedary oak characters. The big but even palate structure of this blended red is framed by abundant yet integrated fine grain tannins & delivers a traditional old world style, suitable for aging, with lingering fresh berry & choc-mint flavours.
