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 black/red in colour, it has pronounced blueberry, plum, spice and typical meaty aromas with coffee notes. The medium to full bodied palate is rich, complex, and supple, with blueberry, plum and savoury fruit flavours hints of smoky coffee bean and vanilla. Soft powdery tannins give a velvety mid palate texture and compliment the long finish with a persistence of plums and spices.
