The light cherry red in colour belies the intensity of the palate. Cherry and raspberry flavours - some herbal notes. The Grenache grapes from a sandy terroir in McLaren Vale - most suitable. 77 year old vines. The wine was made in a natural style - fresh and young - juicy. Interesting back story: When the Rolling Stones were touring Australia in 2014 with a gig in Adelaide, Mick Jagger plus Keith’s wife and a few others decided to visit the Adelaide Hills and had lunch there with Taras Ochota and his wife. Apparently the Stones bought all of their inventory and had a memorable stay. Sadly Taras passed away a few years ago. — a month ago

Vintage 2015 | Finally. The wine awakens from a dormant period. Beautiful fruit - morello cherries - and a vibrant taste. Second day, paired with venison ragout: mocca, chocolate and autumn forrest @Bob McDonald you were right 🫶 — 13 days ago
