Radford Dale Gravity 2006

In an era where over-blown, in-your-face wines too often take precedence over individually crafted and complex wines, our standard bearer dares to be singular. We have strived for equilibrium, between natural sweetness of fruit and integration of structure.

Each varietal contributes its unique facets; the Shiraz its persevering spiciness and its gutsy, supple body; the Cabernet its blueberry backbone and dense, ripe tannins; the Merlot its deep red-berry fruit and suave mouth-feel and the invisible Viognier adding a polished sheen to the tannins and an aromatic lift to the spice of the Shiraz. All knitted together by patient, careful maturation.

This wine bears the hallmark of the region it was reared in and the mineral soils in which it has its roots. Entirely selfish, it is made with our own palates in mind. Even idealists sometimes have to keep the best for themselves...
