Description It’s through Manjimup’s land of the giants we wander, in WA’s stunning south-west, to find this little surprise pocket. The karri trees are some of the biggest on earth but it’s what’s under foot that counts. Geology is the X-factor when it comes to what you taste in your glass. Here, it’s the extremely rich and gravelly loams that deliver flavours of depth and character. Complex aromas of cherry pip, strawberries and clove elevate this wine, loaded with rich fruit flavours and a hint of vanilla bean. With this label, Graphite Road’s Peos family salute the geologists Walker and Wilde whose research identified Manjimup’s vast potential in the 1980s. (BTW: the region also lays claim to Australia’s most successful black truffle industry.)
