Having already created The Ball Buster and The Wild Ride, Bruno wanted to try his hand at a wine from another region. The Border Crossing is a wine project enabling Bruno to see how his style of making Shiraz would work made from parcels of grapes from McLaren Vale, a different region from his beloved Barossa Valley. There in McLaren Vale, approximately 2 miles from the ocean, near the small town of Aldinga, he found a block of 30+ year old vine Shiraz, that produces a wine that is big and lush just like his wine back in the Barossa however with more blueberry and mocha characteristics.
Ripe blueberry compote, with mocha and toffee on the nose. Espresso beans, chocolate covered blueberries and the faintest trace of spearmint, on the palate. Broad shouldered and plush texture, with layers of complex flavors. Firm tannins and acid structure means this will hold up for years to come.
