The B&V Vineyard is on the western escarpment of Mt. Barker in the Adelaide Hills and is planted on micaceous schist soils. Named after Bob and Verner Symons who planted the vineyard in 1992.

Conditions through the 2021 Vintage were ideal. Good winter rainfalls, a warm spring with sporadic rainfall preceded a mild summer with no extreme heat events. The resultant wines have outstanding colour, vibrant and fresh fruit flavours with soft, ripe tannins.

COLOUR - Brilliant dark red with vibrant purple hue.

NOSE - Intense aromatics of blackberry and plum with hints of aniseed, black pepper and cocoa.

PALATE - Rich, thick and complex with dark berry flavours, chocolate, licorice, spice and pepper. This wine displays soft tannins, great length and balance.

PEAK DRINKING- Peak drinking 2028 with cellaring potential up to 5-10 years.

FOOD MATCH - Enjoy with parmesan crusted lamb rack.
