Wakefield Estate is Australia's leading family-owned winery, and chief winemaker Adam Eggins was recently awarded the Winestate Magazine's prestigious Australian Winemaker of the Year prize. The nose shows classic varietal aromas of stewed plum, blackberry and violets, the palate is smooth and inviting, filled with ground coffee, vanilla and dark chocolate characters mingling with classic blackcurrant fruit.
