Purple Palate

Literally produced from the four corners of the Eden Valley, you can definitely smell the 'land from whence it came'. Eucalyptus, menthol, oak and wet forest floor scents stand out. A gentle mineral talcum powder-like aroma is very appealing. The mouth raptures suddenly with dense blackberry, plum and cocoa flavours, but it soon boils down to a pleasant melange of ripe purple fruits. I really enjoyed this wine and I feel that it proves the level of elegance that a regional blend can achieve. Depth and intrigue comes from masterful use of oak in the winemaking shed. - DJ
