Tasting Notes
“Lovely colour, deep, dark and opaque. Rich, opulent and exotic aromas of blueberry, mulberry, sweet spice, cola, nutmeg oak, bramble and vanilla. Bright, fleshy, layered and chock full of blue and dark fruits. Opulent with dark cherry, plum, spice and creamy oak. Long, layered and built to age for many years”

The Vineyards
The vineyards are located at Koomooloo in the NSW Central Tablelands near Orange. Orange is different from other wine regions because of its elevation ranging from 600m, with the highest vineyards sitting at 1,100m on the slopes of the Great Dividing Range and Mt Canobolas, an extinct volcano. Orange is Australia’s highest vineyard area, providing a climate that’s typified by summers with warm days, cool nights, and cold winters. The mean January Temperature (MJT)is a relatively cool 21.9 degrees, making it a great place to grow grapes.
