Victoria

The quirky label from Killara Estate and from the same Yarra Valley vineyard, but made to suit the casual `easy drinking` consumer. Clear varietal character of small red berry fruits, medium bodied and finishing with fine soft tannins.

A warm growing season has produced a wine with lifted aromas of dark cherry, raspberry and plum and a hint of cinnamon spice. The pallet is brimming with juicy plum and dark berry fruit characters and the velvety tannins give the wine a fruit structure which is fine, silky and textured. Drink now as a fresh young wine or enjoy the benefits of short term cellaring.

"One of the gold medal winners at the 2002 Visy Board Great Australian Shiraz Challenge. Deeply coloured; abundant dark plum, black cherry and vanilla aromas swirl from the glass, the palate rich in raspberry and plum fruit..", 95 points - James Halliday, Wine Companion

"Medium to full red-purple; deep, dark blackcurrant/berry fruit on the bouquet flows into masses of sweet blackcurrant fruit on the palate; lingering but ripe tannins and subtle oak. "
