Youthful, energetic and spicy. Deep, vibrant purple-red in the glass; abundant dark blackberry, plum, and black cherry on the nose. Medium-bodied, with luscious dark fruits, chocolate amaro, and a persistent pink pepper, clove and eucalyptus finish. Supple, velvety tannins and live-wire acidity are balanced well - an absolute pleasure to drink!

Terroir Project is a new project of single-vineyard wines showcasing unique terroirs from around Australia. It's a new project brought to life by winemaker Lauren Langfield, who also works as Chief Winemaker for Orbis Wines in McLaren Vale.
