There's lots of everything here! Wow! What a wonderful mouth-full of luscious red wine! It's thick and saturated with all that is good about old vine McLaren Vale fruit. Plush, bordering on profound, dark berried fruit, chocolate, malt, caramel, cigar box, meatiness, jus, and on and on.....all of this and still it has freshness and vitality. Sensationally well handled old vine material. Old fashioned in a very, very good way.
This incredible fruit that Rose and her team hand-picked each year came from 50 year old Cabernet and Shiraz vines grown on the original family estate in McLaren Vale. Planted in 1969 by Rose’s father-in-law Frank Harrison, this vineyard has been carefully maintained to produce some of the best fruit in the region.
Fermented dry, the juice is pressed off the skins and transferred to fine French oak hogshead barrels for 22 – 24 months of barrel ageing. The wine is then bottled and placed back in the cellar to bottle age a further 12-14 months prior to release.
