Aromas of citrus, pear and white peach lead to enticing stone fruit and fig flavours on the palate. Crisp acidity, complex layering with a hint of nougat and vanilla culminate in a long seamless finish.
Hand-picked from select rows in our high altitude Eden Valley vineyard. The grapes are whole bunch basket-pressed, before the juice is run to barrel for fermentation. Wild and inoculated fermentation is encouraged. Regular lees stirring and 8 month’s maturation in new and seasoned French oak barriques gives the wine beautiful texture and complexity.
Soil Type: Deep clay loam contrast sandy loam soils on dark brown subsoil.

This is fresh, well-flavoured and well-made. It’s one of the most enjoyable Chateau Tanunda wines I’ve had in some time. Licorice, redcurrant, sweet cedar and woodsmoke notes put on a flavoursome show, ably supported by grainy, earthen tannin, gently salty tannin. Good stuff this. Pure Barossa.
