Tending more Rhone in style, Rob seeks out elegance, aromatics, spice and savouriness.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nVariety: Shiraz from two bordering vineyards on McMurtrie Road in the heart of McLaren Vale.\\n\\nSummary: A fruit forward wine with good structure and balance showing a finesse that McLaren Vale Shiraz rarely displays.\\n\\nTasting Note: Inky purple with a deep core, violets, brambles and mulberries combine with wood spice on the nose and palate. Savoury\\nnotes of olive, cracked coffee, cedar and green herbs add complexity. The wine displays good length on the palate and a supple\\ntexture in its medium to full bodied frame.\\n\\nGoes With Food: The structure of the wine will work well with red meat dishes – venison and roasted vegetables would be a particularly good match.\\n\\nGoes With Cheese: An aged gouda (especially a lightly smoked version) will complement both the fruity and savoury aspects of this Shiraz.\\n\\nGoes With Music: Radiohead – Pyramid Song.\\n\\nGoes With Life: Bring this one out when main course is served – it won’t shy away from medium to full bodied dishes.\\n\\nServe At: 18 degrees Celsius.\\n\\nWhen to Drink: Ready to drink now, but will continue evolving through to 2035.\\n\\nVineyard: Single cordon trellising and careful hand pruning resulted in low yields and intense flavour in the fruit.\\n\\nWinemaking: The two vineyards were picked a week apart in mid-March. The first vineyard’s fruit was destemmed and fermented to dryness before being gently pressed and sent to neutral French oak to mature. The second vineyard was fermented in two batches; one was pressed to a brand-new Dominique Laurent French oak 600L puncheon, the second was kept on skins for four months to impart savoury complexity before pressing to large format (600L) French oak.

A long length of flavour is provided by a beautiful line of acidity and a pure crystalline core of red berry fruit. A rasp of tannin on the finish ensures versatility.\\n\\nGoes With Food: Pan seared duck matches the spice and body of the wine well.\\n\\nGoes With Cheese: The mushroom characters of a quality Camembert or washed rind cheese will complement the wine’s flavours and won’t dominate its delicate structure.\\n\\nGoes With Music: Nick Cave – Jubilee Street\\n\\nGoes With Life: Out for a fancy dinner or aperitivo on the back deck.\\n\\nServe At: 18 degrees Celsius.\\n\\nWhen to Drink: Ready to drink now, but will continue evolving through to 2030.\\n\\nVineyard: All hand-picked fruit. 60% grown on 80 year old bush vines in Blewitt Springs, the balance from a separate Blewitt Springs vineyard with 50 year old vines.

The second vineyard was fermented in two batches; one was pressed to a brand-new Dominique Laurent French oak 600L puncheon, the second was kept on skins for four months to impart savoury complexity before pressing to large format (600L) French oak.

Tending more Rhone in style, Rob seeks out elegance, aromatics, spice and savouriness.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nVariety: Shiraz from two bordering vineyards on McMurtrie Road in the heart of McLaren Vale.\\n\\nSummary: A fruit forward wine with good structure and balance showing a finesse that McLaren Vale Shiraz rarely displays.\\n\\nTasting Note: Inky purple with a deep core, violets, brambles and mulberries combine with wood spice on the nose and palate. Savoury\\nnotes of olive, cracked coffee, cedar and green herbs add complexity. The wine displays good length on the palate and a supple\\ntexture in its medium to full bodied frame.\\n\\nGoes With Food: The structure of the wine will work well with red meat dishes – venison and roasted vegetables would be a particularly good match.\\n\\nGoes With Cheese: An aged gouda (especially a lightly smoked version) will complement both the fruity and savoury aspects of this Shiraz.\\n\\nGoes With Music: Radiohead – Pyramid Song.\\n\\nGoes With Life: Bring this one out when main course is served – it won’t shy away from medium to full bodied dishes.\\n\\nServe At: 18 degrees Celsius.\\n\\nWhen to Drink: Ready to drink now, but will continue evolving through to 2035.\\n\\nVineyard: Single cordon trellising and careful hand pruning resulted in low yields and intense flavour in the fruit.\\n\\nWinemaking: The two vineyards were picked a week apart in mid-March. The first vineyard’s fruit was destemmed and fermented to dryness before being gently pressed and sent to neutral French oak to mature. The second vineyard was fermented in two batches; one was pressed to a brand-new Dominique Laurent French oak 600L puncheon, the second was kept on skins for four months to impart savoury complexity before pressing to large format (600L) French oak.

Good roundness of fruit flavour on the mid palate leads to a savoury finish with powdery tannin.\\n\\nTasting Note: A beautiful and crisp savoury edge runs through this wine from aroma to palate. The extended ferment characters appear in the form of spicy meaty complexity whilst the youthful Grenache component keeps the feel fresh and vibrant. Savoury, spicy, complex.\\n\\nGoes With Food: Matches well to lighter red meat dishes such as venison or rare lamb, but is equally well suited to a vegetarian lasagne. Versatility is a key component of this wine.\\n\\nGoes With Cheese: An aged cloth bound cheddar or mid strength parmesan matches the subtle tannin profile of The Affinity.\\n\\nGoes With Music: PJ Harvey – Down By The Water.\\n\\nGoes With Life: Pleases the crowds and the aficionado – a safe bet for both sides of the fence.\\n\\nServe At: 18 degrees Celsius.\\n\\nWhen to Drink: Ready to drink now, but will continue evolving through to 2035.\\n\\nWinemaking: All eight parcels that make up this wine were fermented and aged separately before blending. The Grenache components come from 3 separate Blewitt Springs vineyards. Whole bunch and whole berry ferments were used along with extended skin contact post ferment (four months). The Mataro parcels are from 3 separate vineyards with some whole bunch and some pre-ferment cold soak used. The Shiraz component is from a single vineyard on the southern edge of the McLaren Vale township. The Shiraz portion was aged in a brand new French Oak Demi Muid (600L) barrel. The wine was then matured for 9 months in neutral French puncheons and\\nhogsheads prior to bottling in January 2020.
