Tasting Notes
Aroma
Intense fruit driven aromatics of ripe cherry, vanilla pod, exotic spice and aniseed.
Appearance
Vibrant purple in the glass.
Palate
The palate shows generosity of flavour without being thick or cloying – red berries are matched by savoury alpine herbs and cedar. The mouthfeel is rounded but with supportive tannins that open up the food matches for this wine.
Vinification
All parcels that make up this wine were fermented and aged separately before blending. The Grenache and Shiraz were both destemmed with whole berries fermented to dryness. The Mataro parcel was fermented with 40% whole bunches. The wine was then matured for nine months in neutral French puncheons and hogsheads prior to bottling in December 2020.
Cellaring Potential
Ready to drink now but will continue evolving through to 2035.
Region Notes
A single puncheon of Blewitt Springs Grenache from the Wait family vineyard, 2 barriques of Mataro from the Lacey vineyard on Colville Rd in Willunga, and a single barrel of McLaren Vale Shiraz from the McMurtrie family vineyard.
