Deep and dark with crimson edge. The nose displays sweet red fruits, raspberry, plum and mulberry with nutmeg and cinnamon. The palate is soft and rich with blackberry and plum. The oak is well integrated and the finish is long with ripe, chocolate tannin. The tannins, fruit, oak and acid level provide a wine that is powerful and perfectly balanced – all in all a blockbuster.
This wine is blended from select old vine vineyards selected across McLaren Vale from what we consider some of the regions finest growers. The grapes are brought into the winery, and crushed into old vats where the fermentation is initiated by “wild” yeasts found on the grape skins. Careful extraction and short post fermentation maceration is followed by pressing. The wine is transferred into new oak barrels where the malolactic fermentation is completed before racking and maturation for 18 months in barrels. A careful assemblage and barrel selection is followed by minimal filtration and bottling.
