With a deep color, it presents a fragrant and intricate profile, showcasing concentrated fruit flavors such as raspberry, cranberry, pomegranate, and wild strawberry. The aromatic profile evolves, revealing a spicy edge and maintaining depth as the wine breathes. Rich and concentrated, it offers a silky texture and fine balance. Juicy tannins accompany intense layers of raspberry and strawberry, leading to a characteristic chalky Grenache finish. While enjoyable now, its deliciousness will continue to develop and refine over the years.

This wine combines grapes from original plantings in 2001 and newer ones of the same clone in 2011, known as the old Barossa clone BRVC38.
