Aroma This Shiraz has aromas of blue fruits and blackcurrant, with hints of floral mint, lavender and background chocolate notes.
Palate The palate shows concentrated blue and dark berry fruits, along with background oak spice. The palate is round with good richness and concentration, but also shows vibrancy and depth with fine long tannins and persistence of flavour.

Season 2021 vintage in Padthaway is one to remember with near perfect conditions. Dry and warm weather during flowering led to really good berry set that happened quickly, resulting in even ripening of the fruit. Very few heat/rain events meant fruit flavours had maximum time to develop, allowing harvest to occur when parcels were ready.
Maturation Fermented on skins for 5 days. Matured for around 12 months and a proportion was matured with French oak, but the majority was un-oaked to allow the fruit to shine.
