Purple Palate

A truly Australian blend of equal amounts Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz sourced from vines as old as 85 years and hand made using traditional methods; small parcel open fermentation and basket pressing with no fining or filtration. It's aged for two years in all old oak, allowing the fruit to express itself without interference. Cassis and liquorice launch onto the front palate before the wine moves onto mulberry, redcurrants and brown spice. The Cabernet really begins to assert itself with leafy aspects and savouriness from mid-palate onwards and the flow from lush juiciness to a sterner tannin structured finish is seamless. -JP
