The Monteperle Vineyard is located in the Lyndoch sub-region of the Barossa Valley. Grapes from this area are highly regarded for making premium age worthy wines.

Barossa’s 2019 wines will be sought out early, following the lowest yielding but possibly the highest quality vintage of the past decade. After a very dry winter and spring, frost disrupted budburst and flowering. This was followed by hot, very dry conditions with 11 days over 35C in January. The lower yields will result with great colour, intense flavours and firm tannin structure.

Deep ruby and black in colour. The complex nose has an array of lifted black pepper, spice, blackberry, and black plum. French oak adds an extra layer of depth and complexity, bringing nuances of fresh black coffee. The palate has deep plum fruits, blackberry, dark chocolate, and pepper with a rich full-bodied mouth feel. The fine-grained tannins and perfectly balanced acidity give the wine a lovely mouth filling presence, with a long persisting finish.
