The vines were planted in 1998 at the Roundstone Winery who has on sold the fruit to De Bortoli after the Roundstone winery and vineyards were devastated during the 2009 bushfires.
Juicy fruit, the palate is coated well with red berry and cherry flavours punching through. There is a slight twiggy aroma present which adds to the character well. Soft textured, it is so delightfully easy to drink. A drying finish, the glass will empty in no time.
Described on the back label as "frighteningly drinkable". Yep, that sums it up perfectly.
Widely available.
