TASTING NOTES

Aroma

Deep purple  in colour, the nose shows intense aromas of ripe cherry and blueberry, with hint of vibrant red fruits and cedary spice.

Palate

Rich and full flavoured yet elegant, a powerful wine without being excessively weighty. The palate is framed by supple tannins leading into luscious red fruits and elegant finish.

This wine will be enjoyed for many years to come.

VINEYARDS

Catkin is blended from four parcels of wine, each from a unique micro-climatic region of McLaren Vale. The first from Whites Valley producing wines with textural tannins and great flavour depth. The second from McLaren Flat is off the vineyard surrounding the winery, producing elegant lifted wines with fine tannins. The third from Blewitt Springs  produces wines with elegant red fruits and hints of menthol. And the last vineyard from Aldinga produces full bodied wines with dark fruits. The resultant blend is one of exquisite balance, far surpassing the sum of its' parts.
