Once Around the Sun | 2021

True beauty and elegance, both in humans and in wine, develop over time. We've captured the essence of this idea by maturing Once Around the Sun on its skins for a full year. In a world obsessed with instant gratification, each sip of this wine prompts us to cherish and celebrate the kind of beauty and depth that's wilfully crafted with the passage of time.

Elegant and medium-bodied with velvety tannins, fresh acidity and a long finish, this wine can be enjoyed now (we recommend decanting) or savoured after long-term cellaring. Your patience will be rewarded. 

"Deep crimson with a dark purple core. Ripe blackberry, blackcurrant and plum lead into dark chocolate, liquorice, cedar and warm spice, with a savoury edge adding complexity.

The name reflects the wine’s remarkable journey: it spent once around the sun - a full year maturing on it’s skins, building exceptional depth, texture and structure.

Full-bodied and generously layered, the palate brings together the richness of Shiraz with the definition of Cabernet Sauvignon. Dense black fruits are framed by polished tannins and balanced acidity, while mocha, dried herbs and fine oak carry through a long seductive finish.

James, Nicole and team have done a magical job with this wine, with only 70 dozen crafted."
