Ross’ newest is his pride and joy, a vineyard on Kangaroo Island. He gets so excited when talking about this site. The wines I tasted from Kangaroo Island vineyard in 2005 were some of the most exciting material from vintage. Ross is so passionate about his wines he says “I’ll continue to wear patched underpants for as long as I have to in order to put everything into these wines”.

This wine displays a crimson color with a purple edge. With obvious spicy oak and mulberry fruit and faint hints of gum leaf in the background - giving definition to the regional character. It has full, sweet, ripe flavors with chocolate overtones, coconut oak and a peppery persistence with an abundance of soft tannins to give structure and balance. Perfect ripening conditions giving superb grape quality. Grapes were hand picked and freighted overnight to the winery.
