Our flagship Yellow Label wines showcase the distinctiveness of distinguished sites in the Clare Valley, Adelaide Hills and Coonawarra. These wines can be enjoyed upon release, however, will also reward those with enough patience to carefully cellar them to be enjoyed with generous bottle age.

The Coonawarra wine region in South Australia is renowned for its terra rossa soil – a highly prized strip of land running 27km long, two kms wide and averaging 50cm deep. It compromises red soil over ancient limestone and offers the most distinctive unique terroir in the region. The highly acclaimed Evans Vineyard lies at the northern end of this famous strip of earth.

Expert Reviews

90 Points - A glossy nose of vanilla, allspice and blackcurrants makes way for a powerful core of fruit. The oak is heavy-handed here and the core is suffocated at the moment. The tannins are fine with a pleasing savoury twist. This offers power over elegance

Gabrielle Poy, The Real Review 21 MAY 2022

Winery Tasting Notes

COLOUR

Dark purple

NOSE

Ripe red berry fruits, anise, rosemary and savoury notes.

PALATE

Plum and ripe red berry fruits, black liquorice and complex spices give way to a firm tannin structure with overlaying notes of cedar, hints of mocha oak and ozone/seaspray on the finish. A tightly structured wine with a savoury tannin profile. History has shown that it will benefit from at least ten years of bottle maturation.

PEAK DRINKING

This wine can be enjoyed upon release and will reward careful cellaring for up to 15 years.

FOOD MATCH

Roast meats or hearty Italian food
