Rich, full-bodied wine with a deep, inky colour and a sophisticated berry flavour profile. The rich berries and plum notes are well-integrated, creating a refined and plush tactile quality on the palate. The finale is long and dry, leaving a satisfying aftertaste. A well-balanced wine that pairs well with a variety of cheeses and crackers, and is sure to please even the most discerning palates.

Rich, full-bodied wine with a deep mix of concentrated and red fruits, highlighting the best of Australian Shiraz. The oak influence adds density and nuance, whereas vanilla and cocoa whispers add a elegant richness. A classic style, but with enough character to stand out.

Full bodied and intricate nose with black fruit, spice, and leather notes, paired by blackberry and plum flavors. Oak and pepper add depth, but mod plus tannins provide structure, resulting in a medium aftertaste that leaves the mouthfeel feeling refreshed.
