Tasting Notes
Palate
A beautiful and crisp savoury edge runs through this wine
from aroma to palate. The whole bunch ferment characters appear in the
form of spicy herbal complexity whilst the youthful Grenache component
keeps the feel fresh and vibrant. Savoury, spicy, complex.
Vinification
Both parcels of wine that make up this blend were fermented
and aged separately before blending. A portion of stems was used in the
Grenache ferment. Some pre-ferment cold soak was used with the
Mourvèdre portion. The wine was then matured for ten months in neutral
French puncheons and hogsheads prior to bottling in February 2025.
Cellaring Potential
Enjoy now and will continue to evolve through to 2032.
Food Matching
Matches well to lighter red meat dishes such as
venison or rare lamb, but is equally well suited to a vegetarian lasagne.
Versatility is a key component of this wine.
Region Notes
The Grenache fruit comes from the Romano family’s single
vineyard in the Seaview sub-district of McLaren Vale. The Mourvèdre is
from the Lacey family’s single vineyard in Willunga South.
