Aromas of blackberry, fruits of the forest, briar, iodine, cinnamon, clove, violets and split red wood lead the rush of flavours on to the palate, adding black cherry, satsuma plum, cherry blossom, allspice and fresh bay leaves. A depth of flavour intertwined with supple tannins. A slick entry opens out to an expansive back palate with filigreed and pretty edges. The medium weight carries intensity through the middle of the palate and chases orange rind and cardamom through to the energetic finish.

Boysenberry, anise, liniment, beef bouillon and then a force-field of tannins, just a bit pinched, unintegrated and grating at the finish. Good value. Best after 2028.
Winemakers Notes
Upon purchasing the vineyard in 2012, I saw it as an ideal place to create a blend that included varieties that, I believe, will see McLaren Vale into the future. The blend under the purple cap has changed from vintage to vintage and may change again, but this blend feels right and tastes unmistakably Koomilya. Both varieties were hand-picked on 28th February, gently crushed and co- fermented with no additions or adjustment. Pressed after 15 days on skins, settled in tank for 14 days and transferred to French oak vats and puncheons for malolactic fermentation. Then transferred to large oak vats for maturation and bottled without fining on 28th July 2020. Matured in bottle for three years before release.
