WINEMAKER’S TASTING NOTES:
 
A lovely deep, red, colour in the glass gives this wine a classic Claret appearance. The aromatics are expressive of the bright, sunny conditions of the 2019 vintage with a diverse composition of berry fruits that cross the spectrum from black, to blue, to red fruits. Underneath the inviting fruit notes is a touch of lavender and cinnamon before the Cabernet Sauvignon lifts out of the background.
The palate is highly polished and bright while remaining generous and mouth-coating before it leaves a long finish that is reminiscent of Cherries Jubilee. A classic Destinae upon release, it promises a long life in the cellar and truly captures the essence of the stunning 2019 vintage. 
 
ENJOY FROM: 4-12+ years from vintage.

Your Questions, Answered

What do you need from me to get started?

We will need you to confirm that you are over 18 (for obvious reasons!) and to open an account by registering on the site. This will include provision of credit card details for any eventual purchases. You will also need to sign that you have read the terms and conditions.
How many wines are in each Lot?

You will see the quantity (number of bottles) stated above the price. Please note that the bid-price is per bottle so you will need to multiply the price by the number of bottles in the lot to calculate the total price of the lot.
Can I cancel my bid if I change my mind?

All bids are final - please think before you confirm your bid.

We have an extremely competitive buyers' commission of 16.5% (GST inclusive). This will be added to the final winning price of your Lot at the end of the auction.
What are your freight charges?

Please see our Delivery Policy for full details relating to freight.
Is there a Guarantee on my wine?

Under Australian law, consumer guarantees do not apply to goods purchased at auction - all such purchases are at the risk of the Buyer. We will always provide as much detail as we can as to the visual condition and provenance of each Lot, however this is done so as a guide rather than as a guarantee.
