APPEARANCE: Pale cherry in colour. AROMA: Very distinctive in style, dominated by fruity (pomegranate) aromas which evolve towards notes of pepper and spice on the finish. PALATE: It is light yet with some good fruit flesh over racy acidity and fine, delicate tannins.

The creation of this limited release cabernet shiraz began in a quest to create something real, different, and aspiringly lofty, together with our trusted partner Dourthe Bordeaux. The French component of this wine was made at two of the Dourthe-owned wineries. Australian components of this wine were made at Penfolds Nuriootpa Winery (South Australia). The French and Australian components were blended and bottled in South Australia.

Traditional vinification at low starting temperature and shortmaceration about 10 days.

Pumping over and delestage during fermentation, perfect control of temperatures. Racking after malolactic fermentation followed by aging in concrete vats.
