The nose shows ripe blackberries, plum, dark chocolate with aromas of spice, violets, and integrated oak.
The palate is rich and plush with good structure. There are concentrated layers of blueberry, Satsuma plum and dark cherries fruits with layers of velvety tannins and a slatey minerality that gives power, length and finesse while finishing full of flavour.
Following two particularly dry seasons, many were hoping for Mother Nature to be much kinder in 2020–21, and mostly she was. The Barossa experienced some frost damage in late September. November recorded 4 days above 35°C, however, conditions throughout summer were relatively mild with December recording its lowest maximum temperature since 2014. Cool, dewy mornings and maximum temperatures below 30°C for the majority of January provided optimal ripening conditions. Conditions were quite favourable during flowering, allowing bunches to set and good fruit development. Whilst yield varied between vineyards, it was welcome relief to achieve close to average crops in comparison to the last two seasons. Vintage was less compressed than in previous. Harvest continued well into April as the dry Indian summer continued to ripen the grapes and allow winemakers to pick when the fruit was at its optimum ripeness.
