The fruit for this wine comes from the Yarra Valley and the Pyrenees. A drop of Viognier (1%) has also been added having a slight material effect.
I sampled this wine at the Cellar Door last week. An impressive operation on the main street in Healesville. Be sure to grab a Polish donut whilst there.
Aromas of spice, cherry and raspberries roll onto a palate bustling with a light dusting of pepper and blackberry fruit. Some dried herb flavours sit behind the action and appear just as all seems gone.
Generous in length, a wine I'd happily have with a steak or on its own.
Widely available, drink now or keep for five to eight years.
