BOUQUET

A pure expression of the unique terroir of the Blackhill Vineyard at Marybank Estate.

PALATE

Dark black fruits with coffee grinds and dark chocolate with complex earthy notes. The wine finishes with a luscious fruit sweetness. A serious wine but also immediately engaging.

GROWING CONDITIONS

Near-average winter rainfall and slightly reduced growing season with Spring temperatures also below average, delaying budburst and flowering. Like the other regions in South Australia, Marybank experienced a dry and hot December. The effects of the hot weather on yield were significant. Conditions from January onwards were much milder, allowing the vines to fully ripen a smaller crop than usual. The fruit was harvested on the 28th of February.

FOOD PAIRING

Anything char-grilled will compliment perfectly and will cope with all sorts of strong flavours, for example blue cheese.
