McLaren Vale, which borders the unique Hills region, has lower elevation and a Mediterranean climate, perfect for producing rich and powerful wines – an ideal “Acquaintance” to the elegant and refined Chain of Ponds style.
Blackcurrant, dark plums and black forest cake are entwined with subtle dried sage, vanilla and a hint of cured meats. The palate has balanced acidity, rich fruit, velvety structural tannins and a persistent savoury finish.
