A medium to full-bodied blend of Shiraz, Mourvedre and Viognier. Aromas of juniper berry, lavender and cloves. Tantalizing flavours of savoury plums and exotic spices dance on the palate. Smooth velvety tannins and a long rich finish make for an elegant wine with real promise.
84% Shiraz, 11% Mourvèdre and 5% Viognier.
