These wines have strength, intensity, and glorious grape tannins, which wind the palate together, almost like a double helix. The complex structure pulls you straight through. They illustrate what I’m hoping modern McLaren Vale wine will be, which harks back to a tradition of what it looked like in the 1960s, without all the artifice of winemaking. Above all, these wines look and taste, Koomilya.

Palate

The dark perfume is there on the palate but is restrained and respectful as though it knows you are on the start of a long journey and doesn’t want to reveal everything with the first sip. The shape is interesting; an upside-down tear drop that glides through the back and gently tapers through the finish. The tannins are papery fine and dry with delicate flavours that seem to float right at the back. A wine that builds tension and commands attention.

”There’s a freshness and lift to the wine despite the concentration and layering of dark fruit, woody spice and general inkiness. The character of gewurz seems omnipresent despite no gewurz here – it’s floral and pretty shiraz, flirty and quite notably silky, more soft in the shiraz spectrum and red fruited inflections chime in with plum and dark, forest berry fruits. A lick of cola and char here but the wine floats and swishes on velvety tannins and finishes extremely long and fine.”
