The Rocky Road vineyard is located near Witchcliffe in the South of the Margaret River region. With a northerly aspect, the vines enjoy long days of sunshine, moderated by the vineyard's southern location. The vines are cane pruned on a single bilateral cordon with a vertically trained canopy. It is a simple and practical format that maximises light penetration and maintains a balanced vine. | |

Tasting note |
This wine reveals aromas of blackcurrant, plums and mint leaf confection with some delicate notes of sweet mocha. On the palate cassis and sugared plums flavours with nuances of cola and sweet black tea. Beautiful silky tannins and good acidity on the finish.
