Taste Description
Colour
Flamboyant crimson.
Nose
Ripe blackberry and cherry with hints of cedar, thyme, and elegant spice.
Palate
Dark fruits and red cherry, layered with cedar and savoury spice from 12 months in American oak. The finish is smooth, warming, and lingering.
Vintage Conditions
The 2022 Barossa vintage offered an excellent balance of ripeness and freshness for Zinfandel. Winter rains restored soil moisture, while a mild spring encouraged healthy budburst and steady canopy growth.
Warm, dry summer days were tempered by cool nights, allowing gradual flavour development without overripening. A long, even autumn ensured full maturity, delivering Zinfandel with vibrant crimson colour, ripe blackberry and cherry fruit, and the spice and structure enhanced by American oak maturation.
