Succulent roast venison, toasted macadamia and cherry reduction, served with crispy potatoes

Winemaking

Vintage Conditions

The 2023 vintage will be remembered by many as a challenging year in the vineyard, especially during Spring with regular rain events causing increased disease pressure. Thankfully, McLaren Vale's vicinity to the ocean prevailed with sea breezes reducing mildew outbreaks. Vintage began 2-3 weeks later than a 'normal' vintage, with yields lower than average. The slow ripening and cool temperatures provided fantastic colour in reds.

Maker Notes

Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvèdre vinified individually and only blended prior to bottling to get the right balance between the three very distinctive varieties.
