Adelaide Hills

Judged as number 5 in the Adelaide Review’s Hot 100 South Australian Wines for 2013.

Running through blackberry bushes, this juvenile red imbues all the sappiness of bramble while celebrating each plucked berry of black. Tobacco leaf, hickory and cassis fruit, there’s plenty of persistence and depth to show how far the wine will go. A rugged finesse, almost granular, but meshed and lashed to the wild briar of fruit.
