Deep red purple colour, with a perfumed, lifted nose of violets, blueberry and licorice. A full, rich palate is reminiscent of dark fruits and chocolate with a long palate and crisp acidity, and notes of apricot and cedar wood. Pair with red meats, casseroles and barbequed foods

Willunga 100 is located in the picturesque McLaren Vale region, south of Adelaide in Australia. The wines come from a range of premium vineyards, including some over 50 years old which can produce a magnificent array of aromas and flavours.

In the 100 year old winery, modern equipment is used alongside traditional winemaking techniques, including open-top fermenters. With over 100 years of winemaking experience, Willunga 100 produces unique and distinct wines, capturing the essence of the region.

A mixture of old and ancient vineyards have been used across a range of ‘terriors’ in the district. Sandy soils provide lifted aromatics, and darker soils including ‘Terra Rosa’ types contribute to rich, bold tannins. All the vineyards are managed to produce the highest quality possible with only the best parcels selected for Willunga 100. McLaren Vale has a warm Mediterranean climate with a strong influence from the gulf of St Vincent – giving cool maritime evenings perfect for ripening grapes.

Appealingly complex, medicinal nose of mint spice, chocolate and liquorice. A solid winewith good complexity and structure. - Decanter, Dec 10
