DESCRIPTION
Jardim Do Bomfim is a boutique producer sourcing grapes from a selection of growers and vineyards across South Australia’s premium viticultural regions including McLaren Vale, Langhorne Creek, Adelaide Hills and the Barossa Valley.
Intense crimson with youthful purple hues. Lifted blue fruits, blood plum, ripe blackberries and Christmas pudding like spice flow out of the glass and spicy pepper, and hints of bramble and dark chocolate.Generous mouth filling sweet blackberry, raspberry and plums cover the palate with lashings of sweet spice. Firm but fine-grained tannins and dark chocolaty nuances continue throughout the lengthy palate with a youthful finish.
Whole bunches of flavour ripe Merlot were hand harvested, then gently crushed and naturally fermented in open top fermenters for nine days, hand plunged twice daily, before careful basket pressing into 2nd use French oak barriques to finish fermentation. After 12 months maturation and a racking in the same oak, we blended with some of our prized Shiraz to spice things up and bottled the wine capturing the wonderful fruit intensity for years to come.
