Semi translucent red to dark red core with black shaded edges and a vibrant red hue. Fragrant aromas of violet, dark cherry, strawberry and anise sail through the olfactory senses followed by forest floor, brambly cedar, dried herb and spice notes. Delicious red to dark cherry and strawberry fruits flow across the palate with traces of anise, dried clove and spice also evident. Light, fresh and elegant in its feel, it possesses polished tannins, lively acidity and a savoury mid length finish.

Other Reviews....
A blend focusing on the township of Seville East in the Upper Yarra Valley but also incorporating fruit from Coldstream and Yarra Glen. A small percentage of whole bunches. A bright, ruby red. An aromatic bouquet of ripe red cherries, wild strawberries and a little briar. Just as good on the medium-bodied, crunchy-fruited and energetic palate. Pliant tannins round out a wine that will still be drinking well a decade from now. Drink by 2033.

Like the Chardonnay, fruit is sourced from around the valley and is a mix of clones. Its bouquet is distinct as soon as you open the bottle, with some ripe confectionery notes which fall away to reveal a pretty and refined base of fruit. Black and red cherry mix with strawberry and raspberry, with the flowery goodness of violets and a touch of stemmy savouriness appearing after some air. On the palate, there is pronounced fruit sweetness, giving the wine much vitality, with some tongue-tingling minerality adding some more depth. Another very enjoyable wine from winemaker Anthony Fikkers.
