Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, high tannin, medium acidity, dry
Dalwhinnie sits high in Victoria's Pyrenees ranges above the town of Moonambel, on poor quartz-flecked soils that give small crops and concentrated fruit. The altitude keeps the nights cold and the wines savoury where the region's warmth alone would give ripeness. Dark plum and blackberry with black pepper, dried herb, licorice and an earthy mineral edge. Medium-full with fine, firm tannin and a long finish — structured and long-lived rather than immediately generous.
