Product Description
Description
A complex bouquet of dark fruits , blood plum, blackcurrant and violets. Lifted by notes of cocoa and anise. The palate is ripe and succulent yet medium bodied. Integrated French oak notes add a structural element to the seamless and powdery tannins. Think of a beautiful purple velvet cushion, vibrant, comforting and soft, wrapping you with joy.

Vineyard Info
The 2019/20 growing season provided challenges throughout, displaying compression of season, extremes of temperature and then a global pandemic at the time of harvest! In spite of this quality of fruit was excellent and as an initial indicator as to why, the general “pattern” of the season’s weather can be observed as following a normal trend for Coonawarra. In spite of some variability in bunchnumbers and fruit weight, the season overall resulted in good vine balance and the fruit looked fantastic throughout. This observation is already being reflected in the 2020 wines! - Hans Loder
