2021 LSV Tasting Note
TASTING NOTES
Colour: Intense Ruby red.
Bouquet: Primary fruit characters. Contains notes of apricot, blackberry, cracked pepper and cloves.
Palate: A vibrant wine with blueberry, raspberry, and cherry notes. A complex mid-palate of fennel seed, clove, and spice. This wine finishes smoothly with soft tannins and fresh acidity.
Pairing: Drink this wine enjoying a rack of lamb served with a fig reduction sauce. Layer up an eggplant moussaka or pair with Kangaroo Steaks, scallop (duchess) potatoes accompanied by steamed greens like beans and broccollini.
Cellaring: This wine will soften and form more complex aromatics and flavours over the next 10-12 years.
Vintage: An excellent season with near perfect growing conditions right through to harvest. Adequate winter and spring rainfalls set the wines up to burst into life and sustain beautifully balanced growth throughout the summer. Autumn was ideal with little rainfall and warm conditions to ensure the grapes matured gracefully.
