Deep red with a purple hue. Dark cherries, black pepper plum and chocolate. Vanilla, spice, plums abound on the front and mid palette with great length and integrated tannins from 18 months barrel maturation. This exceptional wine has not been filtered and will develop a crust over time – hence decanting is highly recommended.
South Australia has been producing classic blends for over a 150 years! Rich, medium to full bodied wines that demonstrate the hallmarks of one of the world’s great wine Capitals – South Australia. Our Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot release continues this tradition.
South Australia has the enviable position as one of the world’s most consistent viticulturally areas in the world. With the majority of regions experiencing warm days and cool nights throughout the growing season. Allowing growers to consistently produce premium fruit for the many winemakers in the state.
Each variety reached 14-14.5 Baume before the fruit was machine harvested enabling quick delivery to the winery ready for crushing and fermenting.
The fruit was crushed into small 5 Tonne fermenters and fermented for 10-12 days with pump overs in the morning and again in the evening, pushing the skins down into the fermenting juice, further imparting the precious colour and flavours in to the developing wine. After fermentation the skins were gently basket pressed for further flavour and colour extraction. The wines are then racked to a mixture of new and three-year-old French and American oak hogsheads. Every six months the wines were racked to tank and returned to oak, slowly removing deposits and assisting with clarity.
