Sealed under ProCork, winemaker Dylan Rhymer has researched and trialled various closures for nine years concluding Ballandean Estate wines have less spoilage and reductiveness under cork.
Blackberry and blackcurrants, the palate is wonderfully coated. A spice tickle lingers on the finish leaving soft tannins to follow. Classy stuff.
A very good wine and one worth seeking out.
