| lovely VP style, bright, balanced, spirit looks quite good / neutral. wine perhaps lacks intensity and power but otherwise quite nice |
| depth and intensity, long line of liquorice and earth. great length. |
| Bold midnight fruits - has pure fruit concentration that falls a tad short - young - defined tannins |
| Oxidative on the nose, earthy savoury intense dark fruits and spices. Lovely balance of fruit, R/S and alcohol, serious mature wood notes. Very solid length. |

| Sourced from a single vineyard on the Barossa Valley floor. The grapes were picked and crushed to a small stainless steel fermenter where after three days on skins fermenting, they were fortified on skins. The spirit used was predominantly neutral, with a small amount of brandy spirit used to add complexity. Matured in 10yo French Hogsheads for 12 months, the wine was then immediately bottled after bringing out of oak.
Inspired by the Portugese VPs - balance, textured and a relatively dry, fruit driven finish. A style that can be enjoyed immediately or aged for a significant period. |
