A medium- full bodied, aromatic wine with a deep violet colour. The flavours consist of black plums, rhubarb & dark cherries with fine, smooth tannins and fine grains. Fruitful aromas of black currants, blackberries with a hint of white peppers. Approx. 10% of new French oak adds a hint of spice to the palate.

The bunches were destemmed and fermented with approximately 10% handpicked bunches. The fermentation was carried out over a 14-day period and held on skins post ferment for 5 days. After light pressing, the wine was racked to small French oak barrels and matured for approximately 10 months.

About Simon Tolley

Great wine is made in the vineyard – and fermented and bottled best where it’s grown. Simon Tolley is a traditionalist and both these beliefs apply where he lives and works in the Adelaide Hills. Combine the soils, the rain and the sun – and blend green-thumbed expertise from years of vine-growing knowledge plus the wisdom of his forefathers – and great winemaking is bound to follow. The Simon Tolley recipe is flavour-rich and balanced: distinctive, long-lived wines.

Simon holds a Bachelor of Applied Science (Viticultural Science, 1998). He’s managed many vineyards, from the Padthaway and Naracoorte regions (lower South East, SA) to the Clare Valley and McLaren Vale (SA), as well as at Margaret River, WA. Returning to the Adelaide Hills, he first worked in a technical role, then later as contract services manager and a regional manager. Coming home reinforced his belief that the Hills always was the best place to create fine wine.
