Deep mulberry in colour with purple hues. On the nose, there are plum, and blackberry aromas that are accompanied by lifted floral notes of violet and rose. The palate has a very attractive blend of juicy dark cherry, blueberry and hints of spice. Well-balanced acidity is backed by fine-grained tannins and a touch of chocolate on the long and savoury finish.
This wine takes its name from the 'Red Moon' that occurs during a total lunar eclipse when the light filtering through the Earth’s atmosphere dapples the moon in red light. The grapes are grown on a single vineyard in the Wilyabrup sub-region, located 20 kilometres north of the Margaret River township. The soils are old, granite and gravely sandy loam, overlaying lateritic subsoils.
