    June 23, 2021 - Tasted this wine at the Online Wine Dinner with Burnt Ends organised by Wine Exchange Asia tonight.

    Bright red fruits, with strawberries and watermelon. Light in structure and lacks weight.

    June 21, 2021 - Very pretty. Amazing to think this comes from a warm climate Barossa Valley.

    Confectionery, crystalline red fruits, but not sweet. Personally I don’t like these flavours. But that’s just me.

    14.5%, screwcap.

    Colour med purple hues ruby magenta edges bright and clear 15/15
    Nose med- intensity , fresh fruits , raspberry plum cherry , hint of confectionery, rose florals , inviting 27/30
    Palate med bodied , lovely mouthfeel good balance between fruit and acidity , long silky finish 40/40
    Overall super drinkability , very amount of interest , a bit of heat on the finish and I just checked the botttle and it’s 14.5% which explains it. Good wine happy to buy again and also try it with a few years in the bottle 10/11

    April 22, 2021 - Head Wines Zoom tasting. Drank in Gabriel Standart.
    Appearance is clear, medium intensity, purplish ruby colour. Legs.
    Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of red berries, boysenberries, blackberry, kirsch, licorice. Developing.
    On the palate, dry, high acidity, high alcohol (14.5%), medium+ tannins, full body. Pronounced flavour intensity, with flavours of fruity red berries, boysenberries, blackberries, kirsch, licorice. Medium+ finish.
    Very good quality. Fruity good concentration and very drinkable. May need a bit more age to show greater complexity beyond fruitiness.
    60-70% from Krondorf in Barossa Valley and the rest from Stonegarden in Eden Valley.
