Notes
Planted on the heavy clay soils 13 .5 acres of Shiraz and 1 .5 acres of Touriga Nacional) of our family Lovedale Road vineyard in 2008. This unique blend of 80% Shiraz gives this wine floral fruit characters with savoury Hunter regional structure and 20% Touriga Nacional which odds structure lo the aroma. Fantastic early drinking wine, but 5+ years in the cellar and this will start to sing.
