Description Michael and Filippo Scarpantoni helped plant their family’s prized vineyards in the 1970s ... by hand, using no machinery! In fact, the Scarpantoni family has roots in McLaren Vale dating back to 1958. Their lavish reds are much sought after by connoisseurs – not surprising, considering they have taken out Australia’s No.1 wine prize – the prestigious Jimmy Watson Trophy! The black alluvial soils from this rich valley produce beautiful inky hues with aromatic blackberry and licorice aromas. The palate is full and rich with a complexity of dark fruits, classic chocolate notes and finishing long with soft silky tannins.
