"Discovering more Old Vine Mataro and Grenache in the 'Gardens' of my Barossa growers has given me extra opportunity to craft a blend this year that is quite aromatic, in the 'Rhone Style' that I love, and retaining all the plush palate weight that is the hallmark of this wine. The nose has quite lifted mataro varietal aromas of violets, and spicy fruit. Some subtle grenache derived strawberry notes are also apparent. The palate is layered and long, with grenache giving fruit sweetness and finishes with gravelly tannins which should set the wine up well for medium term cellaring."- Tim Smith.
