Tasting 
The Exhibitionist is full of rich plum and damson fruit on the nose. Oak used is unobtrusive on the palate which is dominated by rich red berry flavours while also presenting subtle earthy nuances. The wine is elegant and silky with a long finish.

Suitable for vegetarians and vegans. 
Points & Awards

90 points - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

It's fruit forward and beautifully fragrant with Black Doris plum, raspberry, floral, thyme and roasted nut aromas, leading to a supple palate that's juicy and flavoursome. Well rounded and smooth with a lengthy succulent finish. 

91 points - Huon Hooke, The Real Review

‘Very deep, bright red/purple colour. The aromas are fresh and clean, youthful and berry-like, and in the mouth it is likewise bold, bright, youthful and firm, a little unready but of excellent quality. Traces of cedar and more than a little elegance’.

Viticulture
The Barossa Valley is rightly famed for its red wine production. On the Southern reaches of the region, the climate has more similarities with the Adelaide Hills than the valley floor. Here, varieties such as Merlot thrive in the slightly cooler temperatures. Planted on rich red loams 
with quartz and ironstone nuggets dotted amongst the vines which lend a structure and minerality to the wines produced.
Winemaking
Precise varietal expression and balance are what we seek to achieve and so picking time is of utmost importance. We pick just as flavours are approaching their peak rather than let them get over-ripe. We retain whole berries in the ferment for vibrancy and we press relatively early to avoid astringent tannins. The wine spent 6 months in older French oak.
