The Estate experienced a fairly cool but very dry summer with moderate temperatures and cool nights that resulted in much faster ripening and the earliest recorded harvest dates in history on the estate. With good company management and perfect ripening conditions grapes where harvested at the desired time. This resulted in refined wines with elegance, good natural acidity and structure. The Shiraz and Mourvedre were handpicked from separate single vineyards, the cultivars were vinified separately and blended before bottling.

Tasting notes: The nose shows flavours of red currants with plums and white pepper. The flavours of the nose follows through to the palate with hints of nutmeg and cinnamon spice.
