Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, high tannin, medium acidity, dry
Part of the estate's single-vineyard series, and Mataro — Mourvèdre — bottled alone rather than folded into a blend, which is where it usually ends up. Uncompromising by nature: blackberry and dark plum over leather, black pepper, dried herb and a gamey, earthy undertow. Full-bodied with firm, chalky tannin and a long savoury finish. The Cambrian soils of Heathcote give it density, and the variety supplies the structure and the wild edge. A wine that wants food and air rather than a quiet glass on its own.
