Wine Details

Tasting Notes

Colour

Deep purple red core with a crimson rim.

Aroma

A lifted, expressive nose of dark red and black fruits, with layers of complexing aromas of pencils, spice markets and rose gardens.

Palate

A gently sweet palate of dark berry fruit, lush dark chocolate tannins and subtle waves of speculoos biscuit fan out on a soft, generous palate structure that gives great satisfaction and incredible elegant length.

Notes

Viticulture

A decently wet 2022 ensured a later start to the growing season than average for vintage 2023 with minimal soil moisture pressure. Rainfall during the harvest period presented some challenges in the vineyard but the sloping windy nature of the majority of the Bethany sites ensured that with care and attention and significant disease events were avoided. Yields were average to above average and the balance and quality arising from such a balanced and extended growing period is exceptional. Whites retained lovely natural acid and exciting levels of aromatic intensity and concentration. The reds show exceptional colour, pristine bright fruit and lovely balanced acid and tannin structures.

    Angus Hughson

    A wine which epitomises the Bethany sub-region in the Barossa Valley, maturation was in a mix of French and American oak puncheons and hogsheads, 43% of them new. The colour here is purple/maroon hue. The nose reveals notes of chocolate, soy, aniseed, roast meats, mocha, coffee beans and cloves. The wine of medium length, which is impeccably balanced and seamless throughout. Lingers with intent.
    Enjoy this over the next 8 - 10 years.
