- TASTING NOTE: "From Jericho and Springs Hill in Blewitt Springs, and Smart in Clarendon. Bright and frisky, strawberry, fresh raspberry, mint and aniseed. Medium-bodied at most, cranberry acidity, a lot of energy, dusty peppery tannin, maybe at the expense of concentration, but gee it’s a lively and good wine to drink. Bright, tight, and very frisky. Great drinking. " 94 Points - Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
- ABOUT THE WINE: A blend of two vineyards in Blewitt Springs and the iconic Smart Vineyard of Clarendon. In the winery the vineyard parcels are vinified separately with a cool soak as whole berries before an open ferment. 25% of the grapes were kept as whole bunches. Raised in seasoned oak. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Inspired by the eponymous essay on Japanese aesthetics by Jun'ichirō Tanizaki, In Praise of Shadows wines are about an immediacy, pleasure and the embrace of what lies in front of our eyes, rather than that which has fallen to the wayside of the past. In essence, Ikigai, or our reason for being. The wines, fine-boned, energetic and floral, are Mediterranean-accented, befitting McLaren Vale and the elevated reaches of Blewitt Springs and Clarendon, from whence much of the fruit is sourced. An emphasis is placed on organic material and a less-is-more approach, without it being a mantra. Halliday Wine Companion
