A beautiful blend of Shiraz and Viognier from the Hilltops region. This wine has lifted perfume and dark berry characteristics.

The Rosso regional blend is made up of Sangiovese (60%), Barbera (25%), Sagrantino (8%), and Nebbiolo (7%) all sourced from Hilltops and Canberra. In the glass, it’s gorgeous and that’s before you get your nose in there. A bright pale ruby, the aroma dances with red fruit from strawberry to cherry to pomegranate, accented by the slightest hint of mint and rose petal. The palate is juicy and crunchy, more red fruit and the mint is replaced with a note of sage and even a touch of white pepper. There’s good concentration and length too, attesting to the quality, and it finishes with a tweak of fine tannin.

This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot has developed into a multi-layered wine which shows perfumed flavours of berries and blackcurrant from the Cabernet Sauvignon and cherries and plum from the Merlot. The blend has a lush texture and tannins that give the wine a very smooth mouth-feel.

The 2017 Primitivo is from our original plantings of Primitivo planted in 1996. These vines were taken from cuttings at Cape Mentelle. The vines now resemble a bush vine and with lots of hand thinning and trimming we are able to nurture this difficult variety into this lovely wine.
