From a single vineyard planted in 1994 using cuttings from Run Rig vineyards, Descendant is a co-fermented blend of 94% Shiraz and 6% Viognier matured for 20 months in second fill French oak barriques previously used for Run Rig.

Dense inky black colour with a dark red black hue. The hedonistic nose sees dark plum, liquorice, black cherry and apricot aromas wafting through the nostrils followed by some smoky vanillin cedar and peppered earth notes. Rich voluptuous dark plum, liquorice and black cherry fruits cast a thick opulent layer across the palate. Exceptionally concentrated and powerful notions of apricot, smoky vanillin cedar, earth and pepper lie underneath. A firm, muscular tannin structure is largely concealed by the sheer depth and volume of fruit. Concludes long, decadent and slightly chewy.
