"Medium purple-crimson; a liquid portrait of the region, with lush blackberry/plum fruit, dark chocolate and soft tannins all filling the mouth, but without any aggression. Classic now or later - even much later - style." - James Halliday 94 POINTS
Also featured in the first edition of Halliday's Top 100 wines of 2011.
Fruit for this wine was sourced from the McLaren Vale. Despite wet
weather in December, conditions were cool and dry between January
and March allowing the winemakers to harvest the fruit uninterrupted.
Peak Drinking Will continue to reward with careful cellaring over the
short to medium term.
This wine was matured in a combination of new American, French & seasoned oak for 10 months. Deep, dark plum red with vibrant purple hues. Fragrant dark plums, licorice and dark chocolate, with
hints of raspberry and spice. A richly structured vibrant palate with generous lashing of dark plums, licorice and chocolate, enlivened by
vibrant raspberry, cherry and subtle spice notes. Ripe supple tannins carry the fruit towards a long mouthwatering finish.
The Rosemount District Release range pays tribute to the great wine regions of Australia and their most celebrated varieties. These wines highlight the importance of Rosemount's winemaking and viticulture teams and their attention to detail with fruit selection and during the winemaking process. Fruit is generally sourced from older vineyards that show strong regional and varietal characters. These wines aim to reveal "terroir" - a French term that explains the intrinsic relationship between the variety, the vineyard, the site, the soil and the sun.
The job of the winemaker is simply to channel the vineyard's fruit expression into the bottle.
