Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, medium tannin, medium acidity, dry
A super-premium Chambourcin from vineyards at Broke, finished with a portion of McLaren Vale Shiraz for firmness. Chambourcin is a French-American hybrid grown in the Hunter for a practical reason — it resists the downy mildew that plagues the region's humid summers — and it gives extraordinary depth of colour with surprisingly soft tannin. Raspberry fruit and coconut on the nose, then a deep, brooding palate that stays approachable throughout. Full-bodied but supple, and made to be drunk rather than cellared.
