Mourvèdre sourced from the historic old vines of Barossa. Shiraz was harvested mid-Feb, Mourvèdre harvested late-March.

Extensive pumpover and rack-and-return regime employed before being pressed and transferred to barrel to undergo 100% malo. The individual parcels were then blended to taste and prepared for bottling in Nov 2010. Winemakers Andrew Margan and Hamish MacGowan. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

On the label it says “S&M” which I’m not sure is what they mean. Baked, savoury nose. Lovely juicy taste. Fruity and with some warmth from the alcohol, but it’s a very nice flavour. 24/05/11 |
