Deep red with hints of garnet at the edge of the glass. Blackcurrant and liquorice fruit paired with subtle leaf and savoury spice on the nose. The palate is ripe and rich with balanced fruit and oak. Varietal flavours of cassis, nutmeg and plum lead to fine grained, savoury tannins.

The mid-palate has a mineral character with flavors of flint and stone

and honors the historical grape varietal

Still generous

The Bale Loam is composed of gravelly and sandy alluvium

At the table it goes superbly with white meats

A slow start from a late Spring eventually balanced out into an even and warm Summer and ultimately led to one of the longest Falls we have ever seen

and the St Kitts vineyard in the far northern area of the Barossa

Lucente finishes on a short but refreshing note

and a long rich fruity finish

PERFECTLY PAIRING WITH TRADITIONAL ITALIAN DISHES
