Production notes

Description

The purity of fruit, so typical of Eden Valley, really shows through, heightened by a small whole bunch component with oak playing a secondary role. It’s so tasty I just poured myself a glass!

– Cheers, Jules

Winemaker Notes

Craneford fruit forms the base of this wine, fermented with 13% whole bunch. Mengler fruit also had a portion of whole bunch which helps to bring out the lovely
primary fruit character of the wine. Fruit spent 7-10 days on
skins before pressing and immediate transfer on solids to seasoned French oak.

Tasting notes

Zesty raspberry notes balanced with a plump ball of red fruit on the mid palate, peppered spicy notes lead through to a savoury tannin finish.

Cellaring

Reviews

Trophy, Best South Australian Shiraz, Melbourne Royal Wine Awards 2024

Blue fruits spice toasty oak rounded berry fruit. Super fine tannin blue fruit silk and spice long fine. Pretty white pepper, floral, bunchy, green bean, fine grained tannin, more pepper on the palate, flavour intensity. Blood plums, spicy, smokey, aromatic is lovely. Finer ones, delicious weight of fruit around structure, just chalky acid. 96 points

93 points, Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion

Nicely composed with 13% whole bunch this year, it's all juicy blueberry and plummy fruits, studded with spice and floral facet with gentle twiggy nuance sidling through with a nod of its head. Just such an easy drink; nothing poking out, everything in its right place ... Such great value.

91 points, Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front

Pretty happy with this wine. It delivers good flavour, and good intensity, without pushing things too far. Blackberry, blueberry, lavender and saltbush characters get the job done nicely. There’s a minor meatiness in play too; another positive. In summary it feels fresh, flavoursome and well made.
