Tasting Notes

Grown on the ironstone of our family vineyards and at Cudlee Creek, a cool climate site, with lovely red soils suited to this native Spanish variety.

Opulent deep purple colour with lifted aromas of cherry, blueberry, licorice and sweet spice. Enjoy generous fruit flavours and a deep silky palate. Superb concentration and purity with definitive tannins and flavour that lingers.

Ideal with cured meats and anti-pasta platters.

What the reviewers are saying

This is among the more exemplary styles of this capricious grape variety found on these shores. Medium to full-bodied, rather than the carbonic soup so often seen, this is red and black cherried muscle, tobacco fibre and sinew of briar, licorella and anise. Paracombe’s taut tannin regime and admirable oak handling sews it all into a neat, nutritious whole. Ned Goodwin Halliday Wine Companion
