A revolutionary red wine that pays homage to Australia's legendary Rum Rebellion of 1808, the only successful armed takeover of a government in Australian history. This wine captures that rebellious spirit by daring to be different: a portion of the blend is uniquely aged for 30 days in rum barrels.
The result is a red that is intensely rich, dark, and plush, delivering a complexity that goes beyond the usual Australian red blend. It's an act of defiance in a bottle.
Nose: Rich, lifted aromas of mocha, sweet spice and raspberry fruit.
Tasting Notes: Full and round, with a mocha and spice sweetness giving
a rich and round mouth feel. Subtle flavours of brown
sugar and cinnamon, with a plush finish filled with jammy
blackberry and raspberry.
Food Pairings: Grilled meats (steaks, ribs), hearty burgers, or rich pasta
