The Willunga Shiraz vineyard is located on the fertile plains between the Fleurieu Plains and Sellicks Hills, McLaren Vale.
Brilliant ruby red with purple overtones, the bouquet has aromas of ripe plums, dark chocolate and stewed fruits.
The palate is luscious and complex with vanilla and chocolate flavours from the oak matched to raspberry and plum fruits. The mid palate continues with rich berry fruits with red liquorice, chocolate and mocha tones. The wine has excellent depth of flavour and finishes with fine, silky tannins.
It is a balanced and fruit driven wine, suitable with a variety of foods, particularly marinated lamb or roasted chicken.
