Description

Peg Bay describes the 2021 vintage as a standout year—an early budburst from a mild winter followed by a dry summer, where the focus was firmly on quality over quantity. Small berries and concentrated bunches resulted in wines with deep, expressive flavours and with exceptional ageing potential. Their southern latitude continues to produce impressively ripe grapes, and they don’t hold back on oak influence either—this wine is aged for two years in French oak barrels, adding depth and complexity. A wine of outstanding value, worthy of cellaring or enjoying upon release—just give it a couple of hours in the decanter to fully unfold its brilliance.

Smells

Bold aromas of blackberry, dark plum mocha, and cassis, with just a hint of pencil shavings and cedar.

Tastes

A rich and very bold palate with juicy blackcurrant, smoky meat, plum and vanilla, the palate is silky and balanced with lovely accompanying freshness. Enjoy with good food of BBQ meats between now and 2028. The recommended serving temperature is 16-18 degrees.
