A generously flavoured accord of great McLaren Vale vineyards, Ben Rigg's Piebald Gully, Paxton's Gateway, Wright's Duckchase, Beal's Monapilla and Joch Bosworth's splendid Bradens site. Monapilla is at the base of Willunga foothills, Duckcase is located above Seaview's old holdings to the north of McLaren Vale, the Bradens property is further towards Willunga, originally an almond grove, it is one of Bosworth's most meritorious plantings.
TASTING NOTES
Deep dark red. A brilliant nose of dark red cherry, black fruits, elegant new oak and char, A palate of pristine dark red berries, hints of spice, earth, tar and leather along with seamlessly integrated oak. Ripe tannins are apparent but not overwhelming, for a wine which can be enjoyed now alongside good beef and savoury, tomato based casseroles.
