2023 Striato Magnum
Striato refers to the striations, or long narrow abrasions on rock, created by the movement of a glacier. It reminds us of the 600+ million year old geolociagl history of this land. Layers of cherry wood, dark rose and graphite show at first. The purple fruit and florals, distinctive of Polygon 1 (quartzite and schist) follow. Polygon 10 (limestone) provides a flick of graphite and balsamic on the nose, the hallmarks being in its fine velvet-like tannin.

Tasting Notes
Striato (formerly known as ‘Spice Garden’) refers to striations, or long narrow abrasions on rock, created by the movement of a glacier. It reminds us of the 600+ million year old geological history of this land. A savoury, medium weight Shiraz with layers of flavour and amazing depth. Soaring aromas of red and blue fruit overlaid with Asian spice and graphite. The palate is impressively balanced between elegant fruit texture and the cool tannin of Shiraz grown on limestone.
