After crushing and destemming, the parcels of fruit were fermented separately in traditional style fermenters. The wines were gently pressed, racked and transferred to seasoned and new oak barrels for 15 months maturation before blending and bottling.

The nose is intensely fragrant with dark plum, black currants, mint and hints of spice.
The palate is rich and plush with good structure. There is a concentrated layers of blackberry, blue fruits and oak which is balanced with layers of tannins to give length and finesse while finishing full of flavour.
2019 was a somewhat compressed, but trouble-free harvest in South Australia with excellent wine quality. Rainfall was below average, in keeping with trends throughout the country. The summer was dry and hot, a common story across South Australia. The growing season rainfall from October to the end of March was lower than average which meant that irrigation was important to make up for the shortfall. Using timely irrigation, firstly to develop a canopy large enough to sustain vineyard crops and then to maintain the health of vines until harvest. At harvest, vineyards generally had lower yields, partly attributed to the summer, but also the extreme weather events one of which saw South Australia experienced it hottest daytime temperature since January 2009.
