Today, after more than 40 vintages, this wine has a long established record for ageing gracefully. Fruit is sourced from the Georgia's Paddock Vineyard, which is located on the famous

which the winery lovingly call their 'Monday to Thursday' wine

If you want to pick it – you can have it

"Red berries and dark cherry dominate the nose

trailing deep notes of spice

and leaves the footprint of its flavours long after it is ingested

subtle fresh herb elements and suggestions of whole berry fermentation jam and confectionary nuances

then a highly strung palate of redcurrant

fine and stylish cabernet from this vineyard

It's fresh

2020–2034

although obviously its best days are ahead of it

though the perky and pure fruit of the boysenberry and blackberry persuasion carries it along without much complain
