This premium blend of outstanding fruit from Mt Lofty Ranges of South Australia has been handpicked and crafted using time proven techniques that are synonymous with premium quality wines. Basket-pressing and aging for 4 years in American and French oak barrels has allowed this blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Petit Verdot to develop into and amazing wine with outstanding structure and unfolding levels of flavour. Cedar shavings and tobacco with an exciting hint of green peppers sets the tone with a silky smooth palate and refined tannins that last forever. This intense blend is perfectly matched to rich meat stews, hard vintage cheeses and even a tomato based pasta.
