Alongside the bog standard technical stuff written on the notes that accompanied my sample of this bottle (things like acidity, alcohol, pH etc…) the winemaker has added ‘Occasion = Late Night’. I concur. Dark chocolate, seasoned leather, cigar box and blackcurrant compote notes followed by cockle-warming, juicy, spiciness on the finish, makes this the perfect midnight snack (pastrami, pickle & strong cheese) wine. Fact: Established back in 1838 this winery is the oldest working wine cellar in South Australia.
