The cool, dry 2024 vintage allowed gradual ripening and balanced tannin development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 10.0pt;\"\u003eOn the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied, with ripe black and red fruit, fresh acidity, and smooth, supple tannins. Seasoned French oak and stainless-steel maturation provide subtle savoury complexity while keeping the fruit clear and vibrant. The finish is balanced, persistent, and distinctly Coonawarra in style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBen's Recommendation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 10.0pt;\"\u003eThis is a great choice for drinkers who enjoy approachable Cabernet-based reds with generous fruit and savoury complexity.
