Malt, toffee and caramel characters lead, with lovely clean spirit lifting up florals and hints of rancio and raisin. The palate is elegant, fresh and smooth with spicy complex toffee and fish oil. A round and rich mid palate is made tight with clear fine spirit, and creamy intense malt notes stretch for a long, clean finish. Pair with dry coconut ice cream, dark chocolate ganache and baked apple or bitey cheddar with figs, dates and prunes.

Wynns is privileged to have some of Coonawarra's best quality and oldest vineyards. Each year, the Winemakers select just one parcel of wine to bottle separately. In 2016, that vineyard is O'Deas 3.13. Fresh and enticing on the nose with lavender and mint, liquorice and crushed blackberry. On the palate, an exquisite expression of classic Bordeaux varieties, but the unmistakable Terra Rossa flavours pervade. Dried mint with lavender and the pleasing ubiquitous red cherry flavours. Inviting and delicious in its youth, the O'Deas vineyard have the pedigree to enable cellaring for decades.
